Planning Ahead – Planning news, views, and insight

This month: New NPPF, it’s all happening in Basildon, and no sign of the Social Housing Green Paper

Welcome to August’s edition of Chelgate Local’s Newsletter, Planning Ahead.

Things have been hotting up at Chelgate Local this month along with the weather. We achieved planning permission for a residential scheme in Kent, started work on a major new project in Uttlesford, and got draft allocation for a 4,000-home garden village in Tandridge.

Please find further information here about how to get in touch for help with your projects, and to sign up to get sent this newsletter monthly.

This issue of the newsletter discusses:

• ​New NPPF ends Government summer policy drought
• It’s all happening in Basildon
• Social Housing Green Paper delayed again
• Park Homes in the spotlight!
• TCPA highlights the new ways councils are boosting affordable housing stock
