Existing planning rules in England should be scrapped as
it is no longer able to produce the kind of homes that people need in terms of
affordability, health and well-being, according to a new hard hitting report.
Former housing minister Nick Raynsford, who chaired the review into planning by
the Town and Country Planning Association, says that decades of tinkering to
try to make the system more viable and effective have not worked. Launching the
report in London, Raynsford described the current system as being ‘built on the
back of assertion rather than evidence’ and the result is poor outcomes. He
called for a radical, root and branch reform of planning at a national level. Read
