We have responded today to the Government’s consultation on planning fees. We welcome the proposals to increase fees though it is vital that the fee increase results in improved performance and speed of planning decisions in order to help bring forward much-needed new housing. https://t.co/9XbbjQLSU9 https://t.co/9vNcTIzmWO

We need ways to protect nature that don’t involving grinding housebuilding to a halt. https://t.co/tcdYLklfPs
