The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) has published several new proposals to make practical improvements on earlier planning reforms.
These are available here
These proposals are in six main sections :
• Section 1 focuses on making it easier for residents and businesses to produce a neighbourhood plan;
• Section 2 seeks to expand permitted development rights to reduce bureaucracy and encourage growth;
• Section 3 looks to improve the use of planning conditions and to facilitate a quicker start to development;
• Section 4 addresses engagement with statutory consultees to ensure they are consulted appropriately on development plans
• Section 5 raises the environmental impact assessment screening thresholds for industrial estate and urban development buildings;
• Section 6 sets out improvements to the nationally significant infrastructure planning regime.
In order to help shape the NALC submission they would welcome your responses by 17:00 on Friday, 19th September 2014 to ilina.sen@nalc.gov.uk .
