England eases planning rules for new homes near stations

The UK government announced changes to planning policy aimed at increasing housing supply, including a "default yes" approach for developments near transport hubs and on green belt land. These reforms seek to support the construction of up to 1.5 million new homes by the end of the current parliament by simplifying approvals, especially around well-connected stations, while ensuring higher standards for affordable housing and green spaces on green belt sites. Critics argue the measures erode local community power, but supporters view them as essential for boosting growth and reducing housing costs.
