Government publishes guidance documents to launch revised local plan-making system

Planning analysis: The government has published four documents launching the new local plan-making system introduced by the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023 (LURA 2023). Together, they set out a 30-month timetable for local plan preparation, new Gateway stages and statutory backstop dates for starting plans, with transition arrangements running until the end of 2026. The reforms aim to deliver a faster, clearer and more standardised plan-making process that all authorities must adopt from early 2026.

MHCLG announces local plan-making reform implementation with new regulations and deadlines

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has announced that new plan-making regulations will be laid early next year, abandoning the previous 'waves' rollout approach. Local planning authorities must commence formal plan-making by 31 October 2026 (for NPPF transitional arrangements) or 30 April 2027 (for plans over five years old), with final submissions under the existing framework due by 31 December 2026. The Duty to Cooperate requirement is being removed to accelerate plan adoption, while £14m funding will support implementation.

GLA consults on draft London Plan Guidance for housebuilding support

The Greater London Authority (GLA) has published draft London Plan Guidance proposing time-limited changes to cycle parking requirements, housing design guidance, and a new planning route for affordable housing delivery. The consultation follows emergency measures announced by the Mayor of London and Government in October 2025 aimed at accelerating housebuilding and unlocking stalled sites across the capital. The consultation will close on 22 January 2026.

DBT announces Heathrow expansion plan to form basis of ANPS review

The Department for Transport (DBT) has announced that Heathrow Airport Limited’s (HAL) third runway proposal will form the basis of the Airports National Policy Statement (ANPS) review, aiming to enable a planning decision by 2029 and support the delivery of a new runway by 2035. This follows an assessment of the remaining promoter proposals, with HAL’s scheme seen as the most deliverable in supporting economic growth, improving connectivity, and aligning with legal, environmental and climate obligations. DBT notes that the scheme provides a greater chance of meeting the government’s ambition for a development consent application to be decided within this parliament. Any amendments to the ANPS are scheduled to be consulted in the summer of 2026.
