answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2020 answer text <p>Making effective use of land and buildings is a key aspect of the Government’s existing planning policy, and one which we intend to retain as wider reforms to the planning system are implemented. Our proposed changes to plan-making would bring additional certainty to how land is expected to be used, through the local identification of areas for growth, renewal or protection.</p><p>The changes we made to the Use Classes Order from 1 September will support our high streets and town centres by enabling more effective use of existing buildings. More premises will be able to change use without the need for a planning application.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 09/11/2020 17:32:02 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
