Draft PPG 3
The Government has published a consultation draft PPG3 which introduces a new sequential approach to planning for housing. Local councils will have to consider developing on brownfield land and re-using existing property before releasing greenfield land for housing development.
Planning Minister Richard Caborn said:
"This is another major step in delivering our commitment to revitalise our towns and cities and to protect our countryside from unnecessary development. Our aim is to achieve nothing less than an urban renaissance."
The consultation period ends on 28 May 1999 and responses must be submitted before then.
