Government Reforms Environmental Regulations to Boost Housebuilding
The UK government has introduced reforms to environmental regulations, aiming to reduce waiting times for environmental permits and accelerate housebuilding.
Water and Flooding Minister Emma Hardy announced the changes, which could save builders up to 16 weeks of waiting time. By allowing projects to proceed with site investigations and drainage channel installation before permit approval, the government hopes to speed up construction of new housing and infrastructure in England.
The reforms aim to cut red tape, remove early hold-ups, and reduce administrative costs for businesses. According to the government, there has been
strong support for proposals for a more proportionate and common-sense attitude to environmental permits.
The goal is to support wider government action to streamline the construction process and boost housebuilding in England.
