Tory MP Neil O’Brien has become one of the first to break
ranks with the government’s planning reforms by criticising the proposed

new homes in shires and suburbs rose steeply. His comments refer to the new
proposed “standard method” for determining local housing need, laid out by the
government at the start of this month alongside its wider reforms to the
system, which will limit democratic involvement in individual planning
application decisions. Read more on the Housing Today website.
