Evidence and detail on how Tory housing policy has been a disaster. In this case it is the Pickles policy on conversion of office space. Of course this is merely one of the areas where Sir Eric Pickles managed to cause total mayhem. Local government as a whole should sue the man for wanton vandalism.
The full sorry tale is in a new report by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
Essentially, the policy incentivises poor quality housing, reduces employment uses and compares badly to alternative rules abroad (specifically Rotterdam, which is cited).
