Jenrick set to reveal details of planning deregulation

摘要

The detail of widely trailed new planning rules designed to breath new life into town centres will be laid out by the government today. The new rules, which will come into effect by September, will see the introduction of a new permitted development right designed to allow existing buildings to be demolished and rebuilt as homes. It will be the government's second major overhaul to the built environment this week following housing minister Robert Jenrick's announcement yesterday of the most dramatic shift in building safety regulations in 40 years.
