Parliament UK writes:<\/p>\n

Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development and Miscellaneous Amendments) (England) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020\/632)…<\/h2>\n

This instrument changes planning legislation to allow local development to support the Government\u2019s economic renewal package following the coronavirus outbreak. The changes are a mixture of temporary and permanent measures. One of the permanent changes, a new permitted development right allowing up to two additional storeys to be constructed on existing purpose-built blocks of flats, gave rise to concerns during consultation in 2018.The House may wish to explore further the absence of\u00a0any\u00a0<\/a>requirement to provide or contribute financially to affordable housing\u00a0and how neighbourhood and other concerns will be taken into\u00a0account under the new lighter planning regime for such developments.<\/p>\n

This instrument is drawn to the special attention of the\u00a0House on the ground that it gives rise to issues\u00a0of public policy likely to be of interest to the\u00a0House.<\/p>\n

12.<\/span>The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has laid this instrument with an Explanatory Memorandum (EM) and Impact Assessment (IA). The purpose of the instrument is to make changes to planning legislation which, according to MHCLG, will allow local development to support the Government\u2019s economic renewal package following the COVID-19 pandemic. The changes are a mixture of temporary and permanent measures…..<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

22.<\/span>This instrument changes planning legislation to allow local development to support the Government\u2019s economic renewal package following the coronavirus outbreak.Following concerns raised during consultation, the House may\u00a0wish to explore further the absence of any requirement to\u00a0provide or contribute financially to affordable housing and how neighbourhood\u00a0and other concerns will be taken into account under the\u00a0new lighter planning requirements for extending upwards existing purpose-built\u00a0blocks of flats. The instrument is drawn to the special\u00a0attention of the House on the ground that it gives\u00a0rise to issues of public policy likely to be of\u00a0interest to the House.<\/p>\n
