Government Response
Acknowledged
HM Government
Acknowledged
Accept. The Government recognises that permitted development rights (PDR) can be a route to provide fast and cost-effective housing. PDRs offer an important contribution to overall housing delivery, but the Government is aware of concerns around their use and is considering the findings of the review. We are carefully considering the role of PDRs as part of our wider planning reforms, to ensure they deliver quality homes and protect valued amenity. We will continue to monitor the impact of these changes.
