Planning White Papers

Planning for the Future

The Government published two papers for consultation on the planning system in August 2020. One proposed a change in the way housing targets for regions and individual local authorities were set. They were to be based on an algorithm and met with a lot of criticism.

The other, Planning for the Future, was for comprehensive changes to the planning system. The Fulham Society supports the Government’s aspirations for an efficient, well-resourced planning system that supports local involvement in designing, planning and creating great places for current and future generations. We doubt, however, that these proposals will achieve that.
