Government Reveals Environmental Regulation Reforms
The government has announced changes to environmental regulations in an effort to boost housebuilding in England.
Water and flooding minister Emma Hardy has introduced reforms that aim to reduce the waiting time for an environmental permit, which could save builders up to 16 weeks.
- Builders will be able to move forward with projects while waiting for permit approval
- Site investigations and drainage channel installations can be conducted before receiving a permit
The government believes there has "been strong support for proposals for a more proportionate and common-sense attitude to environmental permits"
The reforms aim to cut red tape, remove early hold-ups, and support wider government action to reduce administrative costs for businesses, ultimately speeding up the construction of new housing and key infrastructure.
