2013 will provide great opportunities for the development industry as the Government strives to boost the supply of housing across the country.
The 2013 Budget has offered an incentive to deliver more new houses through the ‘Help to Buy’ mortgage scheme, whilst the NPPF is now a year old and the Government has given local authorities until 27 March 2013 to bring their development plans in line with its policy requirements.
Where a local plan is out-of-date, local planning decisions will be determined in accordance with the principles of sustainable of development set out in the NPPF. All local authorities are now desperately reviewing their development plans to ensure that they are up-to-date and in accordance with the NPPF. Those that that have an out-of-date development plan will find that development will be forced upon them. This represents an excellent opportunity in which to promote your site now for inclusion within the Councils strategic housing supply or seek to secure a favourable planning permission.
