the Senate tackles land regulation | EUROtoday

The excessive price and shortage of land, though on the coronary heart of the housing disaster, stay a blind spot wherein successive governments have paid little consideration. “Land has until now been largely neglected by public policies, even though it is the basis of any strategy in favor of housing”deplores the senator (LR) of Alpes-Maritimes Dominique Estrosi Sassone. The president of the Economic Affairs Committee of the Palais du Luxembourg due to this fact took up the topic in her huge invoice to “enhancing housing, housing supply and construction”and particularly in its article 5, adopted Tuesday January 13.

The Economic Affairs Committee underlines that between 2000 and 2020, “bare land prices have almost tripled (…) making the production of new housing more expensive”. Added to this basic motion are the aims of decreasing the artificialization of land, enshrined within the Climate-Resilience regulation of 2021. This textual content has made it much more essential to mobilize already artificialized land, which is usually pricey. Also the invoice proposed by Mme Estrosi Sassone needs to permit communities, on an experimental foundation, to make use of the city proper of pre-emption for a brand new cause: that of regulating the land and actual property markets, with a view to creating housing. They might thus exchange the client if the agreed worth is extreme. “This measure could occasionally allow the recovery of land at prices in line with those observed on the market price”particulars the fee.
