Summary

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 below.

The findings and recommendations in this report are those of the consultant authors and do not necessarily represent the views or proposed policies of Communities and Local Government.
