While housebuilders will be spurred on by cuts to stamp duty and an extension to the government-backed Help to Buy equity scheme, more fundamental, long-lasting changes will be required if the industry is going to ramp up housing delivery post-crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast week\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/planning-system-changes\/80521\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">planning reforms<\/a> were certainly a step in the right direction, but they do not go far enough. It will be a game-changer if the government does ensure local housing plans are developed and agreed in 30 months \u2013 down from the current 7 years \u2013 but there will still likely be under these proposals the age-old problem of local political indifference and in some cases outright hostility towards allocating housing through a local plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe system must be brought into the digital age, to make it easier for people to engage and make it more representative of the many, not the few.
