Take part in the survey here
The Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee are
inviting members of the public to give their views on the
planning system and proposed reforms in a survey launched today.
The easy to complete online survey invites respondents to set out
how they have used the planning system in the past and ways in
which it could be improved in the future. The results of the
survey will inform the Committee’s inquiry into the planning
system by indicating what local communities want the system to
set out to do, for example protecting or encouraging growth, and
how it can be better achieved.
The Committee will also be holding a public engagement event on
Thursday 26 November where there will be an opportunity to talk
about the planning system with members of the Housing,
Communities and Local Government Committee.
To take part in the survey, or find out more about the public
engagement event, please visit the Committee’s website here.
The survey will close on 12 November.
Chair of the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee,
said:
“The planning process has an important role to play in meeting a
number of challenges that the country currently faces. In finding
solutions to the crisis in housing delivery, ailing high streets
and boosting regional growth the planning system will be key. It
must also reflect the views and wishes of our local communities
and this is why we have launched this survey. As part of our
inquiry into the planning system we want to hear your experiences
of using the planning system, what has worked well, where it has
been found wanting and how it can be improved. You can take the
survey online and we would love to hear your views.”
