PLANNING rules are set to be loosened by Labour as part of a drive to build 300,000 new homes a year.
Ministers set out plans today to meet the government’s “milestone” commitment of 1.5 million new homes over the course of this parliament.
Building on greenbelt land will be made easier and local authorities will be held to building commitments in their areas, according to the proposals.
