That said, I assure noble Lords that the Government are committed to improving the experience of SMEs in the planning system. We are pursuing this through targeted reforms and engagement. In May, we published a policy paper on site thresholds, seeking views on how we might better support small site development and enable our SME housebuilders to grow. The paper proposed introducing a “medium” site definition, alongside a range of proposals to support a simplified and more streamlined planning process.
