DPP Planning
Autumn Statement reaction
Reacting to The Chancellor's plans to reform the planning system to allow for faster planning applications, Gareth Hooper, CEO of DPP Planning, said:
“The Chancellor’s intention to speed up planning is admirable and, if achieved, will help to relieve backlogs and encourage businesses to bring applications forward. However, local authorities will cite a lack of resources to deliver current levels of levels of applications. Without additional investment they will not have the people and infrastructure to deliver the prompt service the Chancellor wants, which will mean they will also lose out by having to return fees, putting local authorities under even more strain.”
