Today we submitted evidence to the HCLG Select Committee inquiry: The future of the planning system in England.
The planning system impacts everyone including our customers. We’d like to see a planning system that while being efficient, also has our customers and communities – the end users – at the forefront of the changes being made.
We firmly believe that more homes need to be build effectively but in a sustainable way without compromising on quality or design. A change to the planning system could fundamentally make this happen.
We also believe that the feedback and input from local communities is essential when bringing forward planning applications.
We aim to build houses that people want to live in, that provide a safe, secure and warm environment and contribute to sustainable and strong communities. There is no incentive to build otherwise as people won’t want to buy them or live in them.
