澳门王中王 President Ben Derbyshire said:
鈥淭辞诲补测鈥檚 echoes the 澳门王中王鈥檚 serious concerns about our planning system and calls on the government to change tack in order to address the housing crisis.
The NAO鈥檚 report spells out just how lucrative government policy has been for large housebuilders and how costly it has been for communities due to a lack of investment in infrastructure.
While we have seen some positive moves over the past year, including the decision to lift the borrowing cap for Local Authorities and the move towards greater transparency around viability assessments, we desperately need a radical new approach.
The government must recognise the urgency for greater investment in the planning system and the vital link between housing and infrastructure in creating thriving communities where people want to live.鈥
