The Planning and Infrastructure Bill will have its Second Reading in Parliament today.
Landmark Planning and Infrastructure Bill returns to Parliament for its Second Reading today
Reforms will unlock economic growth and accelerate delivery of homes and critical infrastructure and are expected to bring jobs and opportunity across the country
Ambition delivers on the 1.5 million homes commitment in our Plan for Change, and push to make Britain a clean energy superpower
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has warned there is ‘no time to waste’ as she urged Parliament to back key legislation needed to speed up the delivery of the Plan for Change milestone of 1.5 million homes and deliver the vital infrastructure this country needs.
The rallying call was made ahead of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill returning for its Second Reading today (March 24). This is another milestone in the government’s push to make this Bill law to get Britain building and drive economic growth.
Significant reforms will be introduced through the Bill to speed up planning decisions, remove unnecessary blockers and challenges to housing development and major infrastructure projects like windfarms, while at the same time delivering for the environment through the new Nature Restoration Fund.
