Housing Debate

Editor News

Dominic Raab, Minister of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government stated that the Government will be consulting on changes to the NPPF to reduce obstacles to home building. ‘As the House will know from the Secretary of State’s statement, we intend to consult on changes, for example, to density to free up local authorities to build perhaps one or two storeys higher—whether apartments, terraced homes or other designs—if that is in keeping with their local area and in accordance with what local constituents and communities want…  We will therefore publish a revised draft of the NPPF and launch our consultation by Easter.
