New form of planning consent set to boost new home building in England
New form of planning consent could be the key to unlocking thousands of new homes across England, it is suggested.
Under new powers introduced by the Town and Country Planning (Permission in Principle) (Amendment) Order 2017, developers now have the right to benefit from a fast track Permission in Principle (PIP) power, giving them automatic planning consent for small housing schemes across England.
Although legislation for PIP was first introduced in 2016, it only applied to sites that were either designated by a local planning authority (LPA) on a new brownfield land register as suitable for housing, or where a site is allocated for housing in the local plan.
The extension of the powers, which came into force at the beginning of June 2018, now means that small schemes which fall outside these restrictions may now be brought forward.
