Richard Blyth is head of policy and practice at the Royal Town Planning Institute
Policy cohesion: Achieving housing also requires the transport strategy and water supply strategies also to work in harmony. I'm not convinced they do at present – it's hard to tell, especially if you're one of our members trying to get your local plan done by March 2013.
Localism: The government does not wish to discuss the issue of where people will live; this is a matter for localities. Unfortunately localities do not do infrastructure investment. Housing is being localised, but little else is.
