Planning, building and the environment

---

Summary

Planning Policy Guidance 3 (PPG3) includes the government's response to the Environment, Transport and Regional Affairs Committee's report on housing. This includes a statement of the government's housing objectives based on the "plan, monitor and manage" approach to housing provision.

Explanations of affordable housing policy and emphasis on re-use of urban land and buildings are included. A substantial section explores the creation of sustainable residential environments, highlighting the role of public transport provision, making the best use of land and planning necessary greenfield development.

Please note: This guidance has now been replaced by Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing which was published  November 2006.
