Duncan Lewis, Housing Solicitors, New Act will see house building process streamlined

The Housing and Planning Act has received Royal Assent, paving the way for more people buy their own home and get houses built faster.

The Act will give house builders and decision-makers the tools to get more homes built faster and help more families into home ownership.

The measures include underpinning the voluntary Right to Buy agreement with housing associations, supporting the doubling of the number of custom and self-build homes by 2020, tackling rogue landlords – and speeding up the neighbourhood planning process.

Housing and Planning Minister Brandon Lewis said:

“Our landmark Housing and Planning Act will help anyone who aspires to own their own home achieve their dream.

“It will increase housing supply, alongside home ownership building, on the biggest affordable house building programme since the 1970s.

“The Act will contribute to transforming ‘generation rent’ into ‘generation buy’, helping us towards achieving our ambition of delivering one million new homes.”
