Planning Update July 2024
Planning specialist, Stephanie Hall, recently featured in Lexis Nexis commenting on the new planning infrastructure bill and the impact this will have on local government:
'We must await the detail of the reforms promised in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill which was announced as part of the next legislative programme in today’s King’s Speech.
What is clear is that this government will be “mission-led”, with economic growth identified as key. Drilling down, this will involve “Getting Britain Building” through planning reform, to accelerate the delivery of high-quality infrastructure and housing.’
