(asked on 27th August 2024) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent progress her Department has made on planning reform.
This question was answered on 2nd September 2024
On 30 July we opened an eight week consultation on a revised National Planning Policy Framework.
As well as reversing the damaging anti-supply changes made by the previous government in December 2023, proposed reforms include making housing targets mandatory, strengthening policy support for brownfield development, and the targeted release of low-quality grey belt land within the green belt.
The consultation will run until Tuesday 24 September.
