just build stuff
It is illegal to build in Britain. Successive governments have given in to the consultants, lawyers, and lobbyists, and vital infrastructure is now blocked. From houses to hospitals, projects our country needs to grow have been made illegal.
We are fighting to change this. We are campaigning to force the Government to intervene and deliver more decisive approvals. They must pass an Act of Parliament that approves bundles of projects. That is how the Victorians built their Britain. That is how we can build the Britain of the future.
Below is a list, constantly updated, of projects that the Government should include in its Just Build Stuff Act.
Cancer Hospital, Chelsea, London
A new cancer hospital is being objected to by locals in Chelsea. That's right. A cancer hospital.

Housing Development, Southwark, London
Young people can't afford homes in London. They can barely afford rent.
The solution? Build more.
However, over 800 homes were successfully blocked by locals in Southwark. We're calling on the Secretary of State to announce instant approval upon resubmission of the project's application.
