Planning partner, Chrisa Tsompani, recently featured in LexisNexis stating:
‘This is a promising and a step in the right direction in boosting affordable housing delivery. However, these commitments alone won’t be enough to tackle the housing crisis, which has deteriorated in the last years due to the cost-of-living crisis.'
‘The Government hopes that with its planning reform agenda and some stability, the housing industry will grow, and the affordable housing stock will increase. However, given the complexities of the matter and the reluctance of Local authorities to release the appropriate land to build more affordable housing, more drastic interventions are needed. The amended National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), a material consideration for planning permissions, is anticipated to increase the local authorities’ housing targets, make them mandatory, and release green belt land, boosting housing. However, the NPPF’s adoption is delayed, and although it was anticipated by the end of this year, it is now expected to be adopted sometime next year.'
