CIH response to brownfield land consultation
CIH have submitted our response to the open consultation on changes to national planning policy to support brownfield development.
In our response we outline that we have a a pressing need for more homes in this country, and agree that developing brownfield land can help to address this. However, we point out that meeting housing need is not just about the numbers of units delivered. We must ensure that new homes are fit for purpose for people’s existing and future needs, are affordable, are well connected and meet wider climate change challenges. We are clear that the desire to develop unutilised brownfield land must not come at the expense of quality and placemaking.
