Consultation On Proposed Changes To National Planning Policy

The government has issued a consultation paper on proposed changes to national planning policy including proposed changes to broaden the definition of affordable housing. It covers the following areas:
·         Broadening the definition of affordable housing to expand the definition of affordable housing for planning purposes to include a wider range of home ownership models including starter homes and other low cost home ownership models not held "in perpetuity";
·         Increasing the density of development around commuter hubs to make more efficient use of land in suitable locations;
·         Supporting sustainable new settlements, development on brownfield land and small sites, and delivery of housing numbers agreed in Local Plans;
·         Supporting delivery of starter homes

Find the consultation on the CLG website.
