PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE consultation response

 DAC Planning has responded to the Government's consultation on the Planning White Paper 'Planning for the Future'. In general terms, we welcome the proposals in the White Paper to streamline and modernise the planning system. However, we highlight several areas of concern in regards to the potential
application of the proposals, based on our professional experience and our fairly unique perspective as consultants working exclusively to support local planning authorities and local communities across the country in plan production.

Supporting High Quality Development & Infrastructure

Many local authorities across the country are considering the inclusion of large scale allocations within Local Plans as an effective approach to delivering challenging local housing requirements and providing associated infrastructure.  However, the complexity in planning for large scale developments can often lead to significant delays in the production of Local Plans, as well as delays to the consideration and determination of planning applications further down the line.   

 

DAC Planning investigates the challenges faced by local authorities in seeking to deliver demanding housing and infrastructure requirements and considers how local authorities can overcome these challenges.  This article is available to download here;
