The National Planning Policy Framework sets out that plan makers and decision makers should ensure that developments create places that are safe, inclusive and accessible.</p><p>Housing must be a key part of our thinking as we plan for an ageing population. Offering older people a better choice of accommodation can help them live independently for longer and feel more connected to their communities.</p><p>Acknowledging this, this year, we will be launching a competition to design the house of the future; a house designed for the changing needs of older people that is more energy efficient, with quality affordable design and suitable for all generations.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Our revised National Planning Policy Framework, published in July 2018, asks local authorities to support development whose primary objective is to conserve or enhance biodiversity. Opportunities to incorporate biodiversity improvements in and around developments should also be encouraged, especially where this can secure measurable net gains for biodiversity. These gains could include the safeguarding of established trees or bird populations, access to new green space, and provision of green infrastructure such as swift bricks or hedgehog highways. The government will use the forthcoming Environment Bill to mandate biodiversity net gain for development in England ensuring that the delivery of much-needed infrastructure and housing is not at the expense of vital biodiversity.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>This Government remains committed to building the homes we need whilst maintaining strong protections for the Green Belt. When we revised the National Planning Policy Framework in 2018 we undertook careful consideration of all the responses to our consultation, including those endorsing greater flexibilities over Green Belt Land. Our new approach ensures we consider the purposes of Green Belt, the need to ensure that only suitable land is released for dwellings, and the principle that elected local authorities should determine, using the development plan process and local consultation, where new homes could be built and where development should be restrained. If justified and evidenced exceptional circumstances arise, a local authority is already able to review a Green Belt boundary, and propose alterations through its development plan. <br></p><p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The energy performance of buildings is regulated mainly through Building Regulations rather than the planning system. The Building Regulations set minimum requirements for the energy efficiency of new buildings and for work on existing buildings.</p><p>Standards set for energy efficiency need to allow for a broad range of construction types, building orientations, site restrictions and other factors, therefore setting a Building Regulations minimum standard requiring carbon neutral buildings may not be feasible. We are, however, planning to consult later this year on an uplift to the Building Regulations energy efficiency standards where there are safe, practical, cost-effective, and affordable opportunities to do so. In addition, the Government has committed to introduce a Future Homes Standard by 2025 for new build homes to be future-proofed with low carbon heating and world-leading levels of energy efficiency.</p> more like this

Our reforms in the Neighbourhood Planning Act 2017 include clarification of the ‘no scheme principle’ which underpins CPO compensation, making it easier and quicker to establish the fair market value of sites. We are keen for local authorities to now make more proactive use of their extensive powers, which can be used to support a wide range of development and regeneration projects.
