Shapps to rush out guidance as planning grinds to halt

摘要

Housing minister Grant Shapps is to rush out guidance to reward councils for allowing development, amid growing evidence that planning changes are slowing development.rnUp to 40 councils have taken action to halt schemes, change planned housing numbers or delay planning inquiries since the government wrote to them two weeks ago effectively telling them to ignore regional plans, according to the House Builders Association (HBA).
