The proposal for the planning charge is that it will based on a costed assessment of the infrastructure requirements specific to the development, taking into account land values. Any tax on land, which this undoubtedly still is, will either mean a rise in the cost of homes or will reduce the land value, which may have a negative effect on the number of sites coming forward for development. While the planning charge is a better way forward, it is not without its concerns. The Government's decision to scrap the controversial Planning Gains Supplement (PGS) in favor of the planning charge will be a relief to the industry, which feared that PGS would create a vacuum on the number of new sites brought to the market, and make many schemes financially unviable. The planning charge is designed to help pay for the infrastructure needed for new developments, and encourage regions and local authorities to plan positively for housing and economic growth. The first being the call for 3 million new homes by 2020, and the second and most significant, the proposed introduction of a statutory new planning charge. Two proposals set out by the government during the last quarter of 2007 are likely to have major impact on the house building industry in 2008 and beyond. Choose to make that change and take repeated action until your road is permanently lifted up. If your road is not as high as it could be, then identify one change to lift your road higher. What is your choice today? Today's road creates tomorrow's road. If you expect the worst in people and in life, guess what you'll get? You are traveling a low road. If you live with doubt, worry, and criticism, you experience similarly negative results. If you see and expect the best in people and the world, you travel a high road and experience positive results, joy, and happiness.
You can also evaluate your personal life as either on a high road or a low road. They maintain a positive mental attitude. They are optimistic, expecting the best outcomes from their people and teams. They always take responsibility for their work and eagerly make the changes needed to help the organization work as a team. They abundantly give credit to the people who do the work and do it with gratitude. Instead of blaming others, they ask themselves what more they can do to rise above their circumstances and get the results they want.
They choose an attitude of freely sharing information they possess and even seek to give it to those who could benefit. Other people acknowledge that they need to learn and grow in their positions and actively seek to better themselves every day. These actions indicate someone who has chosen to take the low road. Some people feel insecure in their positions and so they engage in hoarding or controlling information, blaming other people or departments for problems, taking credit for other people's work, avoiding responsibility or not being accountable, defending their actions or departments, and generally engaging in defensive thought and behavior. Does your road lean toward the high or the low spectrum? If you are a supervisor, manager, or even executive, are you engaged in thoughts and activities that are self-serving? Or are you engaged in thoughts and activities that serve others? The answer to that question will tell you which road you are traveling. Of course there are an infinite number of different roads in between.
