Planning reform with Ann Carruthers, Richard Clewer and Hugh Ellis

One of the government’s first acts on coming to power in July was to launch a consultation on changes to the National Planning Policy Framework in a bid to deliver its ambition of 370,000 homes a year over the course of this parliament. Proposed changes include a new methodology for housing targets, a move towards more strategic planning and a revised definition of the green belt. In this episode of The Local Authority we explore whether the proposals will have the desired effect – and what else needs to change to deliver the homes the country needs. LGC editor Sarah Calkin is joined by: Ann Carruthers, president of the Association of directors of environment, planning and transport and director of environment and transport for Leicestershire CC Richard Clewer, leader of Wiltshire Council and a member of the LGA’s local infrastructure and net zero board Hugh Ellis, director of policy at the town and country planning association
