Government Reveals Environmental Regulation Reforms
The government has announced reforms to environmental regulations in an effort to boost housebuilding in England.
Water and flooding minister Emma Hardy announced changes aimed at reducing the waiting time for an environmental permit, which could save builders up to 16 weeks.
- Builders can move forward with projects while waiting for permit approval
- Conducting site investigations and installing drainage channels can be done prior to permit approval
The government believes there has "been strong support for proposals for a more proportionate and common-sense attitude to environmental permits"
These reforms aim to speed up the construction of new housing and key infrastructure by cutting red tape and removing early hold-ups for builders.
