On the 100th anniversary of the first Planning Act, John Healey MP (Minister of State for Housing and Planning) has announced support for councils to plan and deliver new homes and green energy projects to power the country to a low carbon future. Councils will get a share of a £135m funding pot for planning and building new homes, and expert support to pioneer a new way of working with developers to deliver renewable energy schemes, such as biomass and geothermal power plants. The funding which comes from the Housing and Planning Delivery Grant (HPDG) will provide a direct incentive for councils to work with partners in the public and private sector to ensure that new, green homes are built where families need them.
