<p>Vacant properties are not in the interest of tenants, landlords or communities.
That is why at Autumn Budget 2018, as part of Our Plan for the High Street, we committed
to piloting a register of empty commercial properties and supporting communities to
make use of empty properties as part of broad plans for the regeneration of our high
streets and town centres. The Housing, Communities and Local Government Select Committee’s
inquiry into High Streets and Town Centres in 2030, made a recommendation to review
existing policy on vacant commercial properties. The Government is considering the
recommendation and will publish our response to the Select Committee in due course.</p>
