Giles Moir, Director at Chapman Lily Planning, commented “although the full details of the ‘default yes’ position for building homes near stations is to be confirmed the Government’s intention is clear, that they want to see housing coming forward in sustainable locations which in turn will aid regeneration and offers the potential to rejuvenate struggling town centres where there is a train station. We await with interest the details of the ‘default yes’ approach, but the approach is certainly on the right track to assist with delivering residential developments”.
