Re: Best way of achieving this?
John Prescott of the last Labour government was responsible for that particular piece of legislation, and as with many of their bleeding heart best intentions it has unintended consequences.
Where I live there's been tens of thousands of houses built applying this rule, the outcome? High burglary rates in these large developments, where one set of people know that another set of people's houses have no one in them in the daytime (because they are out at work) but are full of nice things.
Buyer beware too. I know someone who bought new build off-plan and was a doctor at local hospital, and bit left leaning and though "mixed housing" sounded fair; then down the line had trouble selling his "5 bed executive home" because next door either side were stereotypical social housing: (literally) car on bricks one side and rubbish strewn and overgrown front garden the other side.
