Planning: Reform

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he will meet with Maritime UK to discuss the recommendations in the Coastal Powerhouse Manifesto on planning reform.

Answer

Further to the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement, Investment Zones are being refocused to catalyse a number of the highest potential knowledge intensive growth clusters to boost productivity, growth and job creation. These will be based around the Chancellor's five priority sectors.

We will work closely with Mayors, the Devolved Administrations, local authorities, businesses, and other local partners.

I recently met with Maritime UK, and look forward to further engagement as this policy develops.
