On behalf of CPA and WPA members, London Property Alliance has responded to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s Planning Reform Working Paper: Speeding Up Build Out and Implementing Measures to Improve build out transparency: Technical Consultation.
In a single response to both consultations, the Alliance states its support for the Government’s aspirations to increase housing delivery. However, we make clear that this can only be achieved through measures to incentivise housing delivery, encourage ambition and support the housebuilding industry rather than place an extra burden on an already complex planning system. Enacting the proposed penalties will only serve as a disincentive.
The responses highlight that putting in place a positive, flexible and pro-growth planning system will increase housebuilding.
