Built Environment Committee asks public for feedback on what next inquiry should be #UKhousingThe launch is the committee’s first-ever public ‘Call for Ideas’.
Lord Gascoigne, chair of the committee, said: “The Built Environment Committee wants to hear your views.
“We are interested in hearing about new, underrepresented and innovative policy areas, particularly if this idea could make a big difference to the built environment in your local neighbourhood, town or area.
“If you have an idea about what we should look into, let us know what it is.”
This ‘Call for Ideas’ comes as the committee called on the government in March to bring in national leadership to oversee new towns, including an independent body and cabinet-level minister.
At the time, peers also warned that local planning capacity is a “critical risk” to delivery of the schemes that aim to build towns or expanded settlements of at least 10,000 homes.
