BPF response to MHCLG's consultation on supporting housing delivery and public service infrastructure
What: We have submitted a response to the government’s consultation on a new Permitted Development Right (PDR) – to enable more commercial, business and service premises on our high streets to be converted into residential without planning permission
Our View: Poorly-planned PDR homes will do more harm than good. It’ll result in quick delivery of new homes in a piecemeal approach, exacerbating the decline of our high streets.
