Peacehaven & Newhaven here are the plans for all the new homes

[Pretty pink fairy]

Well, when a man and a woman love each other very very much (or are very very drunk), sometimes they stick some of the man bits in to the woman and 9 months later a new person (or more) arrives.

I think you'll know when you're older.

Yep, B&H is cursed with more than its fair share of NIMBYs and BANANAs - and a fair few have popped up on this thread already. When will it stop? When a one-bed flat on the edge of Brighton costs £500k? A million? There's a crippling shortage of homes in the region and it has to be addressed at some point

to many foreigners in the country, that's part of the problem with housing shortages Fact!!!!

These houses being built in Newhaven, Peacehaven and other areas will probably start at the 200k+ mark. That might be affordable to someone coming from outside the area, but it's not affordable to local people.

My guess is the price will be edging towards £250k for the cheapest 2 bed house.

Family break ups contribute a lot to the housing shortage. There are more people living on their own now than at any time in the last 50 years.
Fact.

800 homes in Newhaven, 16 Romanians per house, that's 12,800 in Newhaven alone. We've got plenty of room...what you going on about?

 

[RexCathedra]

Is there a housing shortage north of a line from the Severn to the Wash?
Or is the housing problem actually a jobs problem?

London will slowly eat the rest of England...

That is, of course, the real issue. You can't blame people for wanting to come where the jobs are (thanks, Norman Tebbit) and we have to build houses to accommodate them. Meanwhile, in the north of England, there are thousands of hectares of brownfield sites and houses are being sold off a few quid as no-one wants to live in them. So, we need to expand the likes of Newhaven - or property prices will be out of control - while there's plenty of room in Yorkshire

That's just crazy talk. Next you'll want to abandon HS2 and extra runways at Gatwick and Heathrow

They wouldn't build them if they didn't think there was a market for them. The more properties there are, the more prices go down; the fewer there are, the more they go up. Not building them will not reduce prices for other properties one one little bit

Unfortunately you have forgotten to factor in the increasing population which is not gradual, if you build 1 million houses and 1 million immigrants arrive then housing stock and its demand doesnt change.

It is, 200k will get you a two bedroom flat. 2 Bedroom Bungalow in Peacehaven is now about 250k. The trend is to demolish the older bigger bungalows here, and put two new build in it's place, but they never provide enough parking for the cars. Alternatively they extend existing bungalows, extend outwards, put a room in the roof and then slap a price tag of £499,000 on it, which is the case for a bungalow up the road.

Who in the hell can afford these sorts of prices, not local people I know that. These are London prices. As another poster mentioned London is eating up the South East. There has to be end to this all, the end being a massive price crash, then they will be complaining that there are too many empty properties like what has happened in Spain.

On a positive note there will be no fridges and cookers sat in the front gardens of houses in Whitehawk and Moulsecoombe. #scrapmetal

I haven't forgotten anything: we need to build about 150,000 to 300,000 houses a year to meet current demands and deal with projected increases. We're actually only building about 100,000. We need to build a lot more and, given the lack of sensible economic regional planning from this government, we need to build them in the south-east

I can't see the developer(s) of the Meeching Down site over in Newhaven building too many "affordable" or "social" housing properties.

We could always start to limit access to the UK and then the need to build could be decreased.

Its just a consequence of increased population driven by immigration, some people would rather there not be a city built each year on our small island.

The US has a population of 313 million, the UK has a population nearing 70 million, that in itself shows us how overpopulated we are becoming.

You really believe the more get built the lower they'll cost. Not really if the demand is high so will the price be.
This is good news being a brickie, ,build, build, build.
