Angela Rayner emphasized that the planned changes to planning rules would streamline the process, suggesting it removes 'chaos and subjectiveness' while allowing for quicker developments.
Rayner argued that compulsory local planning is crucial to prevent speculative developments on greenbelt land, stating, 'Because we haven't had these compulsory plans locally, we've seen speculative development...'
Responding to concerns about community involvement, Rayner asserted that the reforms aim for the largest housebuilding increase since the 1950s, requiring significant change to achieve it.
Conservative Richard Fuller cautioned that while Labour's targets are 'reasonable,' the success of these plans hinges on local community participation and engagement.
