A briefing by the TCPA on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill for the House of Lords (June 2025)
The TCPA believes that democratic planning is a vital tool for securing socially just and sustainable outcomes in an era defined by the housing, health, nature and climate crisis. Planning is not a blocker and consistently approves more planning consents for homes than the private sector can deliver.
The Planning and Infrastructure Bill could be the platform for the delivery of healthy communities designed to enhance nature and secure healthy and resilient homes. To achieve that goal, however, the legislation requires significant amendment.
