Planning For The Right Homes In The Right Places - Consultation

This consultation sets out a number of proposals to reform the planning system to increase the supply of new homes and increase local authority capacity to manage growth. Proposals include:
·         a standard method for calculating local authorities’ housing need
·         how neighbourhood planning groups can have greater certainty on the level of housing need to plan for
·         a statement of common ground to improve how local authorities work together to meet housing and other needs across boundaries
·         making the use of viability assessments simpler, quicker and more transparent
·         increased planning application fees in those areas where local planning authorities are delivering the homes their communities need
