POOR SUBSIDISE MANSIONS
Just when you thought the Conservative Housing Policies could get no more daft and unfair they excel themselves in brass necked robbery. They plan to give first time buyers who can afford a £450,000 home a £90,000 public hand out.
To pay for this they are scrapping subsidies for "Social Housing" and "Affordable Housing", they are letting developers build 100,000 houses without contributing a penny to local road networks or schools. The Builders are flocking to be added to the Conservative Press release to sign up for this hand out, no longer will they have to pay expensive accountants to work out how to avoid their taxes, the Conservatives have done it for them.
Planning fees are being abolished which means another cut for local authorities, with Eric Pickles determining planning appeals and interfering with local plans, is it any surprise that companies scramble to support the Conservative Scheme.
This scheme discriminates against anyone over 40, anyone without surplus funds or anyone who has managed to get a first step on the housing ladder. It is doubtful that it will reduce the price of houses as the developers will pocket the profits they make from this tax avoidance. This £90,000 hand out must be compared to the bedroom tax imposed on those without inherited wealth or access to nepotistic support.
