Planning reforms update

This week the Housing Secretary announced new planning reforms which will speed up the building of the schools and hospitals we promised the British people - which will help protect and create thousands of high skilled jobs in the process.

  • This new fast track will enable public service buildings including schools, universities and hospitals to be delivered at pace through a faster, more streamlined planning process, and speed up local decision making so our planning system works for our public services and the communities they serve.
      
  • Building on the £20 billion of investment in new homes and the £4 billion Levelling Up Fund promised in last week’s Spending Review, these reforms will also help address the housing shortage by allowing commercial premises to be converted into new high quality homes and give high streets across the country a new lease of life by transforming unused and derelict buildings, while making the most of our brownfield land.
     
  • Through these reforms to England’s outdated planning system we can transform communities and support our economic recovery, as the Conservatives deliver on the trust the British people put in us to provide the high-quality homes and public services our country deserves.
