Comparative Housing Policy
[Focusing primarily on the decades after 1945, this chapter investigates emphases in national policy, drawing out their rural implications. After 1945 and for electoral reasons stretching until around 1955, the principal national aim was to increase new-build numbers to address the deficits left by inter-war policies. Labour and Conservative governments pursued virtually the same numerical policies, except for higher output under the Conservatives, who adjusted housing specifications downwards. After 1955, a return to the slum clearance emphasis of the 1930s pertained. Rural areas, which benefited in the late-1940s from recognition of their appalling housing conditions, alongside a prioritisation of farm-worker homes to enhance agricultural production, again saw weak new-build numbers, even to below demolition volumes. Councils responded by being more flexible in their approach, switching attention to homes for the elderly and sometimes to no-subsidy dwellings. The urban bias in late-1950s’ allocations continued into the 1960s, with the character and basis of this bias investigated. In 1967, the national housing condition survey showed rural areas had worse housing conditions than urban, which leads to an examination of data shortcomings that contributed to governments continuously proclaiming the ascendancy of urban deprivations.]
