Secondly, we propose to give local planning authorities the power to decline to determine applications from developers who consistently fail to build out quickly enough by implementing the power introduced by the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act. We will make it easier for them to issue completion notices—a form of “use it or lose it”; the noble Baroness, Lady Coffey, mentioned these—that require developers to complete their development within a reasonable period of time, or the planning permission will cease.
