Consultants warned new planning requirements could delay work
Consultants have warned that new planning requirements for demolition could cause critical delays to developments.
Following a successful Court of Appeal challenge by English Heritage against the government in March, all demolition must come under the scope of the planning system.
Bob Robinson, of planning consultancy DPP, said his firm had received a “significant number of calls from concerned firms, such as housebuilders and demolition contractors” about the impact of the change.
