Homes for Scotland

A round-up of planning news: Tuesday 5 February, 2019

Trade body Homes for Scotland (HfS) has said the planning system needs to be better resourced and delivery-focused in order to deliver homes more efficiently.

Homes for Scotland says the Planning (Scotland) Bill could deliver the balance the planning system requires, but warned that any changes should be 'fully' thought through.

The number of affordable homes approved in Scotland over the 12 months to the end of June 2017 increased by 30 per cent on the previous year, bringing the total number of approvals over the year to 10,612.
