with the aim of helping businesses to build, deliver new housing and infrastructure, and unlock economic growth
Changes to the environmental permitting system will reduce waiting times for permits – getting businesses building, delivering much-needed new housing and infrastructure, and unlocking economic growth, Environment Minister Emma Hardy announced today (Monday 27 October).
As confirmed in the Government’s Regulation Action Plan, there has been strong support for proposals for a more proportionate and common-sense attitude to environmental permits. This will help to speed up construction of new housing and key infrastructure in England by cutting red tape and removing early holdups for builders, and supports wider government action to cut administrative costs for businesses.
