These touch on the full spectrum of the UK’s White Paper position. Crucially, both sides intend to take decisions on granting equivalence at least 6 months before the end of the Implementation Period. The joint position also includes establishing processes to ensure close cooperation on regulatory and supervisory matters. This will help to preserve financial stability, market integration and investor protection.</p><p>We remain committed to preserving our competitive position in financial services after the UK has left the European Union.

Guidance required under Section 8(2) (Content of development plan documents) will be published shortly. The provisions under Section 14 (Planning conditions) restricting the power to impose planning conditions have not commenced as they require affirmative regulations and further public consultation.</p><p>In relation to the Compulsory Purchase provisions in Part 2 of the Act, Sections 18-28 and 31 (Temporary possession of land) are yet to be commenced as they are subject to the making of other regulations and further public consultation. Sections 39 and 40 (Interest on late payments) cannot be commenced until other regulations relating to rates of interest are made. The Government continues to keep the commencement of these remaining provisions under active review alongside further planning reforms.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The Government wants to ensure the leasehold system in England is fair and transparent to the consumer. Unfair practices in the leasehold market have no place in a modern housing market. Neither do excessive ground rents, which exploit consumers who get nothing in return. <br> <br> Our technical consultation on how to improve the leasehold market and make it fairer for consumers closed on 26 November. It sought views on:</p><ul><li>how to ban the development of new build leasehold houses, other than in exceptional circumstances;</li><li>how to restrict ground rents in newly established leases of houses and flats to a nominal, peppercorn value; and</li><li>how to address loopholes in the law to improve transparency and fairness for leaseholders and freeholders.</li></ul><p>The Government is carefully analysing the responses and will introduce legislation as soon as Parliamentary time allows</p><p><br>The Secretary of State has asked the Law Commission to take forward further work to reform residential and commonhold law. The Law Commission is currently consulting on how to make buying a freehold or extending a lease easier, faster, fairer and cheaper, and how to reinvigorate commonhold to provide greater choice for consumers. The Law Commission is due to report to ministers on these issues in 2019. In addition, the Secretary of State has asked the Law Commission to look at improving the laws which allow leaseholders to manage their own buildings.</p>
