Credit: estateagenttoday .co. .uk Marc Shoffman Wednesday 31st July 2024 All councils in England will be given new, mandatory housebuilding targets under planning reforms unveiled by the Government yesterday. Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary Angela Rayner outlined the Government’s plans to build £1.5m homes over the next five years. The new targets will mean councils must boost housebuilding in areas most in need. Currently just a third of councils have a plan that is under five years old, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said, Rayner has written to every council leader and chief executive in England to make clear that there is “not just a professional responsibility but a moral obligation to see more homes built”, and that she will not hesitate to use her powers of intervention should it be necessary – including taking over an authority’s plan making directly. Reforms will make explicit that the default answer to brownfield development should be “yes.” Councils will also have to review their green belt land if needed to meet their own target, identifying and prioritising ‘grey belt’ land, which the Government has finally defined. A consultation on reforms to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), released yesterday, defines the grey belt as land that makes “limited contribution” to green belt purposes. Land released in the green belt will be subject to the government’s ‘golden rules’, which make clear that development should deliver 50% affordable homes, increase access to green spaces and put the necessary infrastructure is in place, such as schools and GP surgeries. Commenting on the proposals, Simon Gerrard, managing director of Martyn Gerrard Estate Agent, said these are positive steps but more work is needed.
