The Local Government Association (LGA) has warned that rural areas will lose out on investment in affordable housing and infrastructure because of the government’s changes to permitted development.

Permitted development rights rules are “detrimental” to local communities and should be scrapped, the Local Government Association (LGA) has said.

Right to Buy is under threat and will ‘grind to a halt’ if local authorities are not given the financial power to replace homes that are sold through the scheme, according to the Local Government Association (LGA).

The government has set out plans that aim to protect and encourage the supply of a range of supported housing.
