Article summary

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) has announced that 100,000 homes delayed by ‘defective’ EU laws will be unblocked between now and 2030, which will deliver roughly £18bn to the economy. The delay is due to nutrient neutrality legacy EU laws, including cases where planning permission has already been granted. DLUHC acknowledges that nutrients entering rivers are a real problem, but states that the risk of this from new homes is very low. The government has announced that it will ‘do away with this red tape and allow for the delivery of more than 100,000 new homes desperately needed by local communities’ through an amendment to the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill.
