Government SPD and EIP proposals

Councils are alarmed at proposals to phase out Supplementary Planning Documents, as here.
There are concerns also expressed about what the Government’s Environment Improvement Plan will mean for councils and developers.
Councils facing additional work by such recent proposed planning changes and by clauses in the Levelling-Up and Planning Bill were hoping for a good financial settlement by Government. London Councils, representing the boroughs, issued a statement on that subject and On London issued a report on the Council Tax increases of the Councils in London.
Localis has issued an asssesment of fiscal devolution and where local government finance will be on 2030.
