- A new approach to development - working paper released!
Measures to turbocharge housebuilding have been set out today (15 December) as part of wider proposals for the forthcoming Planning and Infrastructure Bill. The Bill will play a key role in promoting economic growth, unlocking a new scale of delivery for housing and infrastructure.
Common sense changes to environmental rules will support the Government’s commitment to build 1.5 million homes and advance 150 major infrastructure project decisions, while also helping halt and reverse the decline of species and natural habitats.
But will it?
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Local development plan hurdles will need to be overcome
Conservation organisations are preparing a response
Serious concerns from ecologists across the UK
VALUABLE RESOURCES:
