Planning consultations: share your views

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has launched two planning consultations and we are going to respond to both.

We want to make sure our response is based on what you think, so we want to know your views and opinions to help shape our responses.

Share your response to the below consultations with us via comms@radian.co.uk. And find out more about each consultation below.

Changes to the current planning system

The consultation proposes:

• changes to the standard method for assessing local housing need
• securing of First Homes through developer contributions in the short term until the transition to a new system
• supporting small and medium-sized builders by temporarily lifting the small sites threshold below which developers do not need to contribute to affordable housing
• extending the current Permission in Principle to major development

The consultation closes at 11.45pm on Thursday 1 October 2020. Please do get in touch with us if you’d like to contribute to our response.
