More than half of planners surveyed by the Royal Town
Planning Institute believe planning reforms have hindered the building of new
homes. A report published today by the RTPI called Delivering the value of
planning is heavily critical of what it calls the “almost continual changes in
planning policy” over the last 30 years.
The report reveals 53% of 420 RTPI members to respond to an online
survey think planning changes have hindered housing development, while 73% said
they have “hindered their ability to deliver good places”. It said changes to
policy, along with local government budget cuts, have limited the ability of
planning authorities to ensure more and better development. Download the report
