A briefing by the TCPA for Second Reading of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill in the House of Commons (March 2025)
The TCPA believes that democratic planning is a vital tool for securing socially just and sustainable outcomes in an era defined by the housing, health, nature and climate crises.
Planning is not a blocker – and the planning system consistently approves more planning consents for homes than the private sector can deliver. The Planning and Infrastructure Bill could be the platform for the delivery of healthy communities designed to enhance nature and secure healthy, affordable and resilient homes. However, to achieve that goal the legislation requires significant amendment.
