New Planning Guidelines to be Revealed
The new draft of the National Planning Policy Framework to be published later is expected to cut down the current 1,000 pages of planning regulation to just 50.
The plans, which centre on a “presumption in favour of sustainable development”, have been opposed amid fears they would lead to a return to urban sprawl.
Ahead of publication there were reports it would allow up to 100,000 homes to be built in the green belt near the new high-speed line to Birmingham.
Chancellor George Osborne has vowed to get rid of “red tape” to help Britain’s economy and investment.
Mr Osborne said the final policy would protect England’s “most precious environments”, prompting fears areas outside green belt or national parks status will be at increased risk.
Some people living in areas of possible development under the new system are opposing the plans.
