Rishi Sunak has vowed to not 'concrete over the countryside' as he unveils his new plan to tackle the UK-wide housing shortage by building in inner-cities

"Our reforms today will help make that a reality by regenerating disused brownfield land, streamlining the planning process and helping homeowners to renovate and extend their houses outwards and upwards."

"Rather than concreting over the countryside, we have set out a plan today to build the right homes in the right places where there is community support - and we're putting the resources behind it to help make this vision a reality. But the Local Government Association has flagged concerns about the prospect of loosening the rules around permitted development rights, arguing it can lead to substandard housing.
