Labour’s much awaited and anticipated reforms to the planning system have been published today.
Director Brett Spiller commented: I welcome the thrust of the new guidance – clearly this government is looking to speed up house building and remove what it sees as obstacles in the way. As ever with such a deluge of new guidance, the document will need careful reading, as even the subtle nuance of single word changes can make huge differences to how a project is dealt with by planners and local politicians. We at Chapman Lily will be carefully looking through the document and monitoring feedback from legal experts to ensure we give our clients the very best opportunity to take advantage of the positive changes.
