Reforms could stop other forms of development from happening in city centres, London Property Alliance warns.
The London Property Alliance is the latest developer group to speak out against the government’s extension of permitted development rights after it said they could prevent economic growth in city centres.
Group representative James Wickham said the planning reforms could lead to residential developments being ‘peppered’ across dense urban districts instead of clustered in localised areas.
Terminus House in Harlow, a former office block and the town’s tallest building, was converted into housing without planning permission.
He said this could prevent other forms of development, including office and retail schemes, from being built because of the needs of residents in nearby housing for low noise pollution and transport links.
