Government announces new laws to extend homes upwards and revitalise town centres

posted on 31 July 2020, updated on 31 July 2020

The government will deliver much-needed new homes and revitalise town centres across England, Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has announced.

The new rules, which will come into effect by September, will mean that full planning applications will not be required to demolish and rebuild unused buildings as homes and commercial and retail properties can be quickly repurposed to help revive high streets and town centres.
