I too am 'not allowed' to work from home but it is technically possible.
What do you think the 'reasons' are ?
When I've asked I've never had a plausible answer which leaves me to conclude that its to do with status/job hierarchy which then leaves me with the feeling that I am not considered responsible enough to have this 'privilege'.
Trust me - I don't need a whole day's annual leave to accommodate a doctors/dental appointment/utilities repair visit.

I think half of the problem is down to work and/or house prices. The concentration of jobs in urban centres (especially London) forces people to travel long distances as the housing is too expensive for the majority of people who work there.

Take away the need to drive to work and I'm sure we'd see car ownership and use drop off
