A year after prime minister Boris Johnson and housing secretary Robert Jenrick proposed the biggest shake-up to the planning system, the industry awaits the Planning Bill. Since the release of the planning white paper, a number of policies including the new standard methodology, affordable housing exemptions and permission in principle on small sites have already been vetoed and adapted. As reports anticipate further culling of controversial zoning and targets, industry experts weigh in on the biggest priorities for reform and accompanying new legislation in the coming months. EG residential editor Emma Rosser is joined by Ian Fletcher, director of real estate policy at the British Property Federation, and Victoria Hills, chief executive of the Royal Town Planning Institute.

In this first episode of EG's new Resi Talks podcast, residential editor Emma Rosser explores the rising phenomenon of inexperienced investors losing money to permitted development rights. From Magna Capital to other more high profile failings from Signature Living and Inspired Developments, office-to-resi developers are buckling under hidden costs and a challenging sales market and homes that banks refuse to mortgage. Retail investors backing mini bonds have lost money and the FCA is now clamping down on risky or potentially fraudulent operations. Joining Emma to discuss how and why small investors are getting burned by PD and what that means for the industry is fund expert John Forbes, London agent Jonathan Vandermolen and BPF head of policy, Ian Fletcher.

This is week 4 of 4. You don't have to start at the very beginning of every book, but you might at least want to start at the beginning of the chapter with week 1 for the recap. PREVIOUSLY ON URBAN FANTASY: Rachel Lin Smith was just a shy teenage girl until she was turned into a vampire against her will by an evil serial killing monster. Escaping from his perverted clutches, she was able to put a stop to his reign of terror with the help of her geeky friends, who have been working hard to re-acclimate her to her quiet suburban life. Her friends include the most popular girl in school Tanya Daytton (Daughter of the mayor and real name Shawna Dixon) and her childhood best friend, the pudgy and geeky Ian Fletcher. The only thing her two best friends have in common is their love for her. Her other friends include the smart-mouthed loser geek Andrew Grezzy, the cowardly and fussy Bilal Valenca, the gentle giant genius Charlie Gordon, the military obsessed Jason Stride, the sports fan with his brothers car Mike Jones, and Tanya’s best friend Alice. There’s also been two new kids in town, a teen with Synesthesia Jon Mason who has been sharing dreams of an alien world with Rachel, and his loyal protector government experiment Erika Sannik who has had no such dreams and is too old to go to Abbey Park. Together they fought to protect Tanya’s Time Traveling father Joseph Dixon from a cult that believed he was a prophesied wizard meant to bring magic back to the world, a force long lost to the ages. While they succeeded at protecting the mayor, they also got their asses kicked, and Rachel was taken, leaving the rest of the gang helpless. Ian tried to cast a spell to get Rachel back, but the spell misfired and their entire school was transformed into a maze where a creature was hunting them, killing and devouring children as it went. Tanya had no choice but to step through a swirling vortex to an alien world where she was able to close a tear in space/time and free her school. Meanwhile, Rachel has been trying to escape her imprisonment, finding a possible ally in the samurai vampire ronin Satoru, a man who stood up for her against Christopher Dalish. She’s also taken a female cultist named Tulip under her wing. Their attempts to escape were thwarted and they’ve been locked in the dungeons and left to rot. ----------------------------------- My name is Andrew Geczy.

PREVIOUSLY ON URBAN FANTASY: Rachel Lin Smith was just a shy teenage girl until she was turned into a vampire against her will by an evil serial killing monster. Escaping from his perverted clutches, she was able to put a stop to his reign of terror with the help of her geeky friends, who have been working hard to re-acclimate her to her quiet suburban life. Her friends include the most popular girl in school Tanya Daytton (Daughter of the mayor and real name Shawna Dixon) and her childhood best friend, the pudgy and geeky Ian Fletcher. The only thing her two best friends have in common is their love for her. Her other friends include the smart-mouthed loser geek Andrew Grezzy, the cowardly and fussy Bilal Valenca, the gentle giant genius Charlie Gordon, the military obsessed Jason Stride, the sports fan with his brothers car Mike Jones, and Tanya’s best friend Alice. Last year they saved their city not just from a mass murdering vampire, but also an apocalyptic bee swarm brought about by the machinations of a time traveler from the past, Tanya’s own father, trying to jump further into the future. They were able to stop him before he could finish his jump, stranding him in their time period. While they settled back into their old lives, however, Erika Sannik and Jon Mason were settling into new lives, having escaped across the border from a government lab in the United States.

Concerns from property bosses over the local elections may have been mollified after Labour failed in its attempt to take key councils, but uncertainty still remains. London’s mayor Sadiq Khan is at the halfway point in his term and is still falling short of his target of building 60,000 homes per year in the capital. The differing ways to hit that target will be central to discussions to debates between developers and newly elected local councillors will be key. Martin Bellginer, Ian Fletcher is director of policy at the British Property Federation; Dean Clifford, co-founder of central London residential developer Great Marlborough Estates; Martin Bellinger executive chairman of housing developer and contractor Guildmore and one of the founders of PRS developer Essential Living and EG’s London residential analyst Paul Wellman joined EG editor Damian Wild to discuss the battles ahead.

Donald Trump is about to be inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States. As far as we can tell, every other country in the world advances a self-serving industrial policy, to the detriment of the United States, which embraces free trade. In this final episode of Stocks-in-Depth’s review of Ian Fletcher’s 2010-2011 book, Free Trade Doesn’t Work, we start by presenting the author’s case that China, Japan, and Europe have emphasized industrial policy over free trade for years. Fletcher’s solution for the U.S. is a flat tariff, which would eliminate the influence of lobbyists and the inefficiencies of propping up dying industries. We suspect that Trump's appointment of Peter Navarro to run the National Trade Council might signal that this proposal is on the table. If the Trump administration considers imposing a flat tariff to balance the trade deficit and stimulate job creation, what would the economic outcome be? What are the investment implications? Are there second and third order effects that might be considered? Might inflation result? In this conclusion to its 4-part series on free trade and the flat tariff solution, Stocks-in-Depth moderator Bill Baker, CFA examines each of these questions and more in this exciting extension of thought to what Ian Fletcher wrote prophetically in 2010-2011.

Institutional investment strategists follow economic and market data closely, and tend to weave together a narrative that explains the current trend. Presently the US dollar is rising, like it has two times before in the last few decades. In this podcast, we sample the perspective of Brown Brothers Harriman currency strategist Marc Chandler, whom we believe mistakenly thinks the rising dollar is proof that the U.S. trade deficit is benign. In Part 3 of our series, Free Trade Doesn’t Work,” Stocks-in-Depth pulls apart the numerous assumptions behind Chandler’s thesis, except one: the powerful effect of interest rate differentials on the current momentum of the dollar. Chandler will most likely be right in the short term, and he’s likely to try to make the opposite call when intervention stops the dollar’s path, as was the case in previous bull markets. But he is wary of the rise of what he dubs “populism-nationalism,” in Europe and America, for it might put the stake into the heart of free trade. For Chandler, it is a myth that the gigantic trade deficit, which has opened up since the early 1970s when the dollar was severed from its gold backing, means that the dollar is overvalued or that free trade is a failed policy. To us, that’s a straw man, for currency pairs will always ebb and flow to the rhythms of the global credit cycle and capital’s desire to cross borders for investment purposes. If the theoretical case for free trade has been falling apart since nearly the beginning of the millennium as economist Ian Fletcher contends, then further dollar strength would only ratchet up the pressure that is boiling under the surface in the form of populist-nationalist movements.

The historical record shows that countries that rise to economic greatness did so through a strong industrial policy, which incorporates tariffs and non-trade barriers. Moreover, at their apex these powers tended to adopt free trade, some vainly thinking that in doing so they might change the world for the better, but nevertheless be able to kick away the ladder upon which others might follow to industrial might. In Part 2 of this special edition of Stocks-in-Depth, we review what economist Ian Fletcher calls the “forgotten history” of trade, and show how it contradicts the premises of classical economist David Ricardo’s theories of comparative advantage. We also devote much of this podcast to presenting the many flawed assumptions behind Ricardian economic theory, as illustrated by the realities of the emergence on the world scene of great economic powers: England, the United States, Japan, and China.
