Should the government introduce a Land Use Framework to coordinate England's land for housing, infrastructure and nature?
The government is reforming planning to a streamlined, plan-led system while launching a Land Use Framework for a shared spatial picture across infrastructure, housing, food, nature and climate. It requires local authorities to coordinate infrastructure like water and transport with development needs across boundaries. New statutory duties under the Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 mandate mayoral strategic authorities to prepare spatial development strategies addressing cross-boundary issues.
