Free-form planning

Article Abstract:

A change in the use of UK planning restrictions is being called for after a study revealed a tendency to reduce competitiveness by limiting the use of land for certain types of buildings. An increased economic growth rate of up to 1.5% could be gained by the UK economy if planning regulations were relaxed, according to a study carried out by McKinsey Global Institute. The report concludes limits are being placed on the competitiveness of business, which will have an effect on the country's economy.
