The FMB reacts to reforms to the UK planning system
Jeremy Gray, Head of External Affairs at the FMB said: “This is a big change for the planning system and one that acknowledges the hardships faced by SME house builders over the last few decades, which have resulted in their decline. The UK’s small house builders stand ready to deliver the homes Britain needs, but the planning system has stifled their growth. The FMB has long called for reform to the planning system to support SMEs, and so the decision to streamline requirements on sites of up to nine homes, alongside faster decision making is a positive step. The medium site designation will also be welcomed as it reduces planning hurdles, enabling small house builders to scale up their businesses.”
