Planning passports' that automatically approve high-quality new homes will be a game-changer, says Keir Starmer
Briefly

A radical scheme to speed up apartment building has been announced by the prime minister, emphasizing the need to construct 1.5 million homes within five years.
The new system of planning passports ensures that any proposal meeting high design and quality standards is expedited through the planning process, automatically assuming approval.
Labour aims to densify urban areas instead of building more individual houses, focusing on multi-dwelling buildings to optimize land use and meet housing demands.
Starmer noted that extensive discussions with developers revealed their eagerness to proceed with the plans, indicating strong support for successful implementation of the housing targets.
