Government Reveals Environmental Regulation Reforms
The government has announced changes to environmental regulations aimed at boosting housebuilding in England.
Water and Flooding Minister Emma Hardy announced the reforms, which aim to reduce the waiting time for an environmental permit.
- Builders can start projects, conduct site investigations, and install drainage channels without waiting for a permit approval, potentially saving up to 16 weeks.
- The changes aim to speed up the construction of new housing and key infrastructure by cutting red tape and removing early hold-ups.
The government believes there has "been strong support for proposals for a more proportionate and common-sense attitude to environmental permits"
The reforms are part of wider government action to cut administrative costs for businesses.
