Aaron Emmett, MD of Click Properties speaks to the Sunday Express

Capital developments go through the roof WHILE we all know the country as a whole is not building enough new homes to keep up with demand, the face of London in particular is changing every year thanks to the number of new-build developments. Figures from the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government show there was a 16 per cent increase in new-build homes completed in England last year – 163,250 in all.

Click Above MD, Aaron Emmett spoke with the Daily Mail about one of the solutions to London's housing crisis

With space for 41,000 new homes on the ROOFS of existing properties in London alone - is building upwards the answer to Britain's housing crisis? Building 40,000 new homes literally on top of existing buildings in London could help solve the country's housing crisis, a developer has claimed. A house builder specialising in rooftop development has already begun using the space above existing buildings to boost the supply of homes in Britain, including several sites in London. It comes

Could Building Upwards Solve The Housing Crisis?

Utilising airspace to develop rooftops into new homes is most certainly one great way to address the housing crisis, particularly in town and city centres where land is scarce. A recent study suggests that at least 23,000 buildings in London Zones 1 & 2 alone could be suitable for rooftop development which equates to 40,000 new homes! With Sajid Javid's announcement to amend the NPPF, to allow permitted development for two additional floors on top of buildings, this is definately an exciting

'Nimby' councils which fail to build enough new homes will lose planning powers

As an SME developer, the unessecary obstacles of the planning system are presented to us on a daily basis. Put simply, there needs to be a culture shift...Developers are seen as the adversary. If the nation requires houses, and the enabler of that housing is the housing developer, then they should be partners? There has to be a culture shift in the Councils. All housing developers, not just SME developers who want to deliver housing, are seen as the enemy and often met with an obstructive approa

Through innovative design, modules that make up the units are constructed off-site, delivered to site and then craned on to the existing building. Using modular construction to develop air space minimises disruption to the residents or users of the existing building and means development can take place a lot quicker. But how does modular construction actually work...? Ever wondered what

The sky’s the limit for imaginative developers - Aaron Emmett, CEO of Click Above speaks to The Times

Blue-sky thinking is management speak for a fanciful idea. However, it is not fanciful to build into the not-so-blue skies above our cities, and this week Sajid Javid, the housing secretary, announced plans to relax planning rules to make it easier to build on city rooftops. “The answer to building new homes isn’t always an empty plot, or developing on a derelict site. We need to be more creative and make more effective use of the space we already have available,” Javid said.

Aaron Emmett, CEO of Click Above speaks to the Metro about rooftop development in London
