Angela Rayner eased building regulations to streamline plans to create housing on gardens. The government revealed the move alongside a £10bn property funding initiative.
This funding represents the first wave of a larger building push intended to supply new homes across designated communities.
Opponents labeled the policy changes a comeback of garden grabbing. James Cleverly stated that the National Planning Policy Framework overhaul signals a return to garden grabbing. The Telegraph called the move a flawed answer to Britain's housing crisis, while the government focuses on launching the new funding.
