REPORT

NEXT STEPS: A REGENERATION AGENDA FOR THE NEXT GOVERNMENT


Click here for the full report in pdf format.

The All Party Urban Development Group’s new report looks at four key aspects of the urban development debate in the UK and sets out what we think should be the top priorities for the next government.

 

Based on research, the report recommends that:

 

 1.    Public sector investment should be focused on the areas that need it most.

 2.    Business rates should be localised and tax increment financing (TIF) should be introduced.

 3.    Planning reform should be limited after the first year of the next government and planning performance agreements (PPAs) should be used more.

 4.    There should be a focus on increasing the housing supply and adjusting stamp duty to encourage greater investment in the private rented sector.
