Malvern Hills councillors warn they may lose local planning control unless the government acts on delayed housing plan approval.
Councillors in Malvern Hills warn they’re being forced to approve large housing developments or risk losing local planning control due to delays in adopting the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
Without a long-term framework, they say they’re unable to effectively manage growth, feel hamstrung in protecting local interests, and fear national inspectors may take over decisions if too many refusals are overturned.
They argue that thousands of homes could have been built on already-approved sites, and urge the government to grant councils stronger authority.
The council is improving decision-making through training to avoid appeals and maintain local control.
