Planning rules have failed to link new homes to public transport, report finds
Briefly

A decade of planning aimed at creating housing near public transport routes has failed, with new homes still making residents car-dependent for local amenities.
The RTPI's report revealed that while housing developments are expected to be designed around transport infrastructure,, there has been no significant progress in the past ten years.
