Housing Minister, Christopher Pincher, was questioned on the Future of the Planning System by the HCLG Committee on Monday. You can watch a recording on Parliament TV here. The Committee also has published a Twitter thread summarising the responses to their planning survey which can be viewed here.
Two new calls for evidence on Planning Reform have also been published recently – the APPG Conservation, Places and People’s first inquiry on the regeneration of historic places and MHCLG’s open consultation on supporting housing delivery and public service infrastructure that seeks views on permitted development rights and speeding up planning permission. Our Spatial Planning Advocacy Group (SPAG) will meet in the new year to contribute and inform the Alliance’s response to these consultations.
