This consultation sets out a number of proposals to reform the planning system to increase the supply of new homes and increase local authority capacity to manage growth.

Proposals include:

• a standard method for calculating local authorities鈥� housing need
• how neighbourhood planning groups can have greater certainty on the level of housing need to plan for
• a statement of common ground to improve how local authorities work together to meet housing and other needs across boundaries
• making the use of viability assessments simpler, quicker and more transparent
• increased planning application fees in those areas where local planning authorities are delivering the homes their communities need

The attached 鈥楬ousing need consultation data table鈥� sets out the housing need for each local planning authority using our proposed method, how many homes every place in the country is currently planning for, and, where available, how many homes they believe they need.

Alongside this consultation, the attached 鈥楥omprehensive registration programme: priority areas for land registration鈥� document lists those areas where Her Majesty鈥檚 Land Registry intends to prioritise the registration of ownership of all publicly held land.
