Matthew Taylor Review on Rural Economy and Affordable Housing

The Prime Minister asked Matthew Taylor, MP for Truro and St Austell, to conduct a review on how land use and planning can better support rural business and deliver affordable housing.

This Review was presented to Government on 23 July 2008.

As part of the Review a Call for Evidence was launched seeking the views from a wide range of stakeholders, and ran for 12 weeks from 17 December 2007 to 7 March 2008. This generated a total of 278 submissions from organisations and individuals across the country. The analysis of responses to the Call for Evidence is available with the report.

The Government's response to the Matthew Taylor Review, published on 25 March 2009, is available below.
