IEA Director of Public Policy and Communications Matthew Lesh has been quoted by CityAM in their article discussing how relaxed planning restrictions will boost housing.

CityAM quoted:

“These rules held back tens of thousands of homes for little environmental benefit. The key culprit in river pollution is intensive farming, housing and sewage make a relatively small contribution. 

“These rules mean one fewer reason that local councils must reject housebuilding. But there are countless fiddly rules and processes holding back much-needed homes and infrastructure. A government serious about economic growth must go much further and much faster to unshackle the British people.”
