We want the government to push for a rooftop revolution, including fitting solar panels on car parks.
The Times reported that Ed Miliband said “Right now, the sun is shining on hundreds of thousands of car parking spaces across the country which could be used to power our homes and businesses”.

Every new car park may have to be covered with solar panels
Solar canopies would be compulsory under proposals estimated to save £28,000 on electricity bills at an 80-space car park

I’m shocked, shocked to learn that a report by CPRE arguing for building “somewhere else” might be economical with the facts.
Nothing in this acknowledges the economic reality of why many brownfield sites don’t get away as housing: they’re not financially viable unless someone (usually us, in some form) pays for them to be cleaned up and made ready
Almost 1.5m homes could be built on brownfield sites in England, report finds

Yet again CPRE are claiming there's sufficient brownfield land and we don't need to build on any countryside. There are many reasons why this isn't correct 🧵

Almost 1.5m new homes could be built on brownfield sites in England to avoid encroaching on green belt and meet the government target for housing growth by the end of this parliament, new figures suggest.

Anyone who thinks you can solve London's housing crisis, the product of several decades of not building enough houses, without building more houses, does not deserve to be taken seriously. Nor does anyone tagging the NIMBY ultras of CPRE into a discussion on housing.

Yes, CPRE would say this. But it isn’t the whole story, anymore than lobbying from developers is the whole story
