Lundmark, Allan
Providing homes in Scotland - 2005 - Scottish Planning and Environmental Law (110) August 2005, 80-82(3) .
Presents a critical analysis of the government housing record in Scotland where two-thirds of households have moved over the last 30 years from public sector housing into home ownership and the importance of the house-building industry to the Scottish economy has grown significantly. Comments on Scottish Executive policy as exemplified by the March 2005 policy statement "Homes for Scotland's people" and reviews development planning. Highlights government inaction on the house building and housing delivery front. Concludes that all of the market signals suggests that more houses need to be built in Scotland but questions whether there is the political will to promote housing investment and development.
