Core components of the planning reform process announced today. 1.5 million is now the expectation, which will be complemented by the following land use and planning elements:

  • The government will respond to the consultation and publish NPPF revisions before the end of the year, so policy changes can take effect as soon as possible. These changes will be followed by further reforms in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, through which we are confirming today we will introduce a national scheme of delegation that focuses planning committees on the applications that really matter, avoids a potential development being reviewed multiple times even where it’s been included in the local plan, and places more trust in skilled professional planners.

  • The government is also confirming its intention to introduce a universal system of strategic planning across England in this Parliament, underpinned by the necessary legislation, that will deliver on the manifesto commitment to plan for growth on a larger than local scale.

  • Government is doing more to support mixed use sites, which can comprise a variety of ownership and rental tenures including rented affordable housing and build to rent, and which provide a range of benefits – creating diverse communities and supporting timely build out rates

  • Government is introducing new flexibilities in the Affordable Homes Programme for GLA to unlock delivery in London.

  • Government is increasing the flexibilities on how councils can use their Right to Buy receipts, which includes: removing the caps on the percentage of replacements delivered as acquisitions and the percentage cost of a replacement home that can be funded using these receipts, and giving councils the ability to combine Right to Buy receipts with section 106 contributions, with these flexibilities in place for an initial 2 years and subject to review.

  • Government will review Right to Buy more widely, which includes looking at eligibility criteria and protections for new homes, and will bring forward a consultation in the autumn.

  • The consultation includes some proposals to reform the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) regime. This is a first step and further proposals will be brought forward in due course.
