Description: Through Planning Reform, we are creating a modernised and effective planning system, that empowers communities to support, and local authorities to deliver, the beautiful, environmentally friendly development that the country needs. This will contribute to realising our Levelling Up agenda.
DCA (RAG) Red
DCA text: The IPA's (IPA) DCA rating at 2021/22-Q4 is Red. The immediate priority for the programme remains the timely delivery of legislation, to deliver changes to planning, this remains on track. The imminent introduction of the legislation will reduce many of the programme strategic risks and demonstrate delivery against key milestones, this will address the recent increase of the IPA delivery confidence assessment, which is currently red. The IPA Assurance of Action Plan review, which took place in September 2021 following a Gate 1 review, found the Programme had provided a compelling body of evidence that demonstrated strong progress in addressing the issues and risks set out in the Action Point recommendations. In response to the IPA recommendations in September 2021, we developed a communications and engagement plan to support bill handling.
Start date 2020-09-01
End date 2027-12-31
Schedule text Your programme end-date is 31 DEC 2027. This is primarily due to the following factors: Legislation is expected in the next session. We then expect the bill passage to be complete in just under a year, with the Royal Assent reached in Spring 2023. Thereafter, there will be a period allowed for secondary legislation and we expect all regulations laid by 2024-Q2. Following the secondary legislation, there will be a transition period where new style local plans are delivered and adopted in waves. This process is expected to complete by 2027.

This is primarily due to the following factors: The costs are as set out in the Strategic Outline Case and have gone through Treasury approval. The baseline costs reflect all the government costs to DLUHC to deliver a modernised planning system. As part of the development of the Outline Business Case, we will be reviewing and updating these costs to reflect the evolving nature of the programme.
