As a result, too many homes are provided without the extra room that many people would use as a workplace.<\/p>\n<p>More than two-thirds of workers said they would prefer an additional room in their home as a dedicated office space. Young and middle-aged workers had a far less positive view of their home as a place to work than the over 55s.<\/p>\n<p>Younger working households looking for their first home purchase or to move on up to a larger property want to see an extra room suitable for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/homeworking-accessibility\/87275\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">home working<\/a> as part of their future accommodation needs.<\/p>\n<h3>Hybrid approaches to working are on the rise<\/h3>\n<p>With 72% of people now looking to split their time between home and office working, employers are also responding to the changing landscape, with many planning for a full-time or hybrid approach to remote working and encouraging more of their staff who worked occasionally from home in the past to do so on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>The report points out that having a dedicated space for doing their job supports the well-being of working people, drawing on the research revealing that many people struggled with mental and physical health during the lockdown as they tried to cope without a dedicated workspace.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Home working is now here to stay\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Matthew Spry, senior director and head of Lichfields London office, said: \u201cThis is important research that shines a light on the relationship between Covid and how people use their homes. It raises important issues and reinforces the message that home working is now here to stay, which is influencing how people choose their new homes and use their house space.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Planning authorities need to be more flexible\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Philip Barnes group land and planning director at Barratt Developments, commented: \u201cLocal planning policies, which aim to control the size and mix of residential developments, have to be urgently re-evaluated in the light of the report\u2019s findings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPending preparation of new local policies \u2013 which can take years &#8211; planning authorities need to be more flexible when it comes to determining planning applications for homes with more rooms than expected by their outdated policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNational planning policy already asks local authorities to accommodate needs not anticipated when policies are drafted, to allow for new and flexible working practices. We need to see this in practice, to take into account the shift towards millions of us now working from home.<\/p>\n<p>Without such moves, the mismatch between the supply and demand of homes will become ever more acute. We could see family homes with a dedicated home working space even less affordable for those who most need them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barratt Developments and national planning consultancy Lichfields have launched a new report, calling for local planning policies to be urgently reviewed to ensure they are fit for purpose for working from home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[676,572,569,567,747],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-103316","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-construction","8":"tag-housebuilding","9":"tag-housing-standards","10":"tag-planning-system","11":"tag-property"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>New report urges for planning policies to adapt to hybrid working<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Barratt Developments have launched a new report, calling for local planning policies to be reviewed to ensure they are fit for purpose for working from home\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/working-from-home\/103316\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New report urges for planning policies to adapt to hybrid working\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Barratt Developments and national planning consultancy Lichfields have launched a new report, calling for local planning policies to be urgently reviewed to ensure they are fit for purpose for working from home\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/working-from-home\/103316\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
