NALC urges the government not to over-extend development rights
This week, the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) urged the government to refrain from opening the floodgates with permitted development rights in response to the government's consultation.
In its response to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) consultation on permitted development rights, NALC argued strongly to the government that policies on permitted development rights should be the prerogative of local authorities in their local plans or neighbourhood planning groups and that permitted development rights should play a minimal role in the planning system because every location is unique.
