How to reform the planning system to unlock urban regeneration

Our businesses have come together to explore how to make the planning system work more effectively for urban regeneration. We have sought to ensure that the proposals would not require significant public funding and the majority can be delivered without the need for primary legislation – meaning that they could be
delivered quickly in advance of wider planning reform. We believe that our proposals would improve the planning system as a whole but have taken a brownfield regeneration first approach to designing them. We believe that any attempt to reform the system should focus explicitly on this area to unlock the growth the country needs.
