Part of Housing, Communities and Local Government – in the House of Commons at on 28 October 2024.
Matthew Pennycook
Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)
As I said in my original response, we recently consulted on how the planning system could do more to support the creation of healthy places. I will continue to work closely with colleagues in the Department of Health and Social Care when considering next steps, as well as engaging with local authorities. As I said in answer to a previous question, my Department is analysing responses to the NPPF consultation with a view to issuing a Government response before the end of the year.
