Penfold Review of non-planning consents
The Penfold Review, set up to identify whether non-planning consents delay or discourage investment published its final report in July 2010.
The Government has published a further update on implementation, setting out a programme of work building upon the agenda the Review set Government, specifically to:
- Scrap unnecessary development consents and simplify others;
- Reform the remits and working practices of the public bodies granting or advising on development consents;
- Set a clear timescale for deciding development consent applications; and
- Make it easier to apply for development consents.
