Building more homes is central to this Government’s vision of a country that works for everyone. We expect to publish a Housing White Paper later this year, setting out measures to help us deliver this ambition.

Two separate consultations relating to the Neighbourhood Planning Bill were launched on 7th September; one on neighbourhood planning, the other on planning conditions. Both have now closed and responses are being considered carefully.
