Housing Shortfall
Increase from existing 25,000 new houses per year to 35,000 demanded
for Scotland. Communities & Sport Minister said the current
rate of new house building - almost 25,000 new houses last year -
is simply inadequate".
Its essential the majority of this supply is located in dense
developments on brownfield land; the planning system also requires
immediate root & branch reform.

Scottish Housing - Background
Scottish housing stock generally varies from wee bungalows to sixties
high
rises; in the Highlands traditional crofts mingle with new properties
which often look like they could be from anywhere ie non-indigenous.
After the Second World War a massive housing construction commenced
in Scotland (& across Europe) with slab blocks and tower blocks
mostly located around the edges of the major cities such as Glasgow
and Edinburgh, and in New Towns in the Central Belt such as Cumbernauld.

In the Seventies this major building programme stalled and low-scale
dense
housing took its place, mainly built by private housing developers.
Styling was
generally regressive but in the Nineties some more contemporary Scottish
housing emerged. Notable were the Homes for the Future scheme in Glasgow
and the Slateford Green housing in Edinburgh. One-off houses such
as those by Richard Murphy also encouraged a shift in thinking towards
contemporary architecture.
