The article critiques a controversial government proposal to allow for blanket licensing on subdivision of housing plots to address housing shortages by permitting cabin-style homes in backyards. This initiative, aimed at tapping hidden supply, is described as foolish and raises concerns about the implications on planning regulations, potential overdevelopment, and the overall quality of living in communities. Critics argue that such a measure may lead to adverse effects on urban landscapes and undermine local standards.
The Government's proposal to allow subdivision of housing plots and backyard cabins as exempt from planning rules, in response to housing shortages, is seen as miscalculated.
The approach aims to generate new housing supply but raises serious concerns regarding planning regulations, land use, and community standards.
