However, it said &#8220;there would be advantage in identifying now additional consequences of a failure to produce a local plan by early 2017 in order to further stimulate authorities to want to avoid those consequences&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The panel recommended any authority that failed to submit a local plan for examination by March 2017 should be told \u201cas a matter of Government policy that its existing relevant development plan policies for the supply of housing will be considered to be out of date&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It also suggested the same sanctions should be applied to local authorities without a post-National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) plan ready for examination by March 2018, and for authorities that fail to review its local plan following a recommendation from the planning inspector.<\/p>\n<p>Councils that fail to submit a local plan by the end of March 2017 \u201cshould be considered for &#8216;special measures&#8217; in exactly the same way as authorities who are currently slow to determine planning applications&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Other recommendations within the report include a \u201cdefinitive approach\u201d to five-year housing land supply calculations, the introduction of a process for annual monitoring reports, and a five year review of the NPPF.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the panel also called for regulations that require local plans to be completed within two years from the first engagement to final submission.<\/p>\n<p>Rhodes said: &#8220;Our report shows that substantial reform is necessary but also possible \u2013 if our recommendations are accepted as a package we strongly believe that all those with an interest in local plans \u2013 communities, local authorities and developers can look forward to a faster, fairer and more inclusive plan making process which delivers the development that the country needs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A local plan expert group has recommended councils that fail to produce a local plan by early 2017 should be penalised\u2026 A new report has been published by a local plan expert group recommending there should be additional consequences for local planning authorities that have not produced a local plan by next year.
