Housing Minister Dominic Raab has announced new funding to help speed up planning decisions and help the government deliver, quality new homes.
Totalling £15.8 million, the investment should enable councils to process more applications, implement new reforms and also train planners to tackle the housing challenges faced by their local area. The funding will also support greater best practice and innovation within councils as they decide planning applications, resulting in more being determined over a shorter period of time.
The first wave of the Planning Delivery Fund will be split into three streams that will assist in delivering new homes across England: The Joint Working Fund (£9.4 million), Design Quality Fund (£4.82 million) and Promoting Innovation Fund (£1.07 million).
Raab said: “This cash boost ensures councils have the resources needed to make quicker decisions on planning applications, delivering quality housing at a faster rate. It’s part of our strategy to build the homes this country needs whilst also supporting residents to have their say on the kind of development that takes place in their area.”
