Planning ahead 

Landmark changes outlined in the Planning for the future white paper could transform a system and deliver housing for families, key workers and young people.  The proposed reforms would see an end to section 106 agreements under which developers deliver affordable homes in exchange for permission to build.  The government intends to replace the agreements with a community infrastructure levy it claims will increase revenue levels collected nationally when compared to the current system and ensure the delivery of more affordable housing.

Housing Secretary Rt Hon Robert Jenrick MP said: “These once in a generation reforms will lay the foundations for a brighter future, providing more homes for young people and creating better quality neighbourhoods and homes across the country. 

“We will cut red tape, but not standards, placing a higher regard on quality, design and the environment than ever before. Planning decisions will be simple and transparent, with local democracy at the heart of the process.

Matthew Fell, CBI Chief UK Policy Director, said: “Changes to the planning system will help ramp up the availability of homes in places where people need them most. These reforms will allow housebuilders to get to work, supporting supply chains, and more flexible, local labour markets around the country.
“Delivering high-quality, safe and environmentally friendly new homes is critical for meeting our climate targets while accelerating regional growth and tackling inequality. Affordability of future housing supply must remain at the forefront of these efforts.”

Helen Evans, Chief Executive of Network Homes and chair of the G15 group of London’s largest housing associations said: “The country needs many more affordable homes and the planning system makes an important contribution towards that. I strongly welcome the intention of government’s proposed reforms to increase transparency and certainty to help increase the delivery of affordable homes.”
