Clarity, Not Complexity – A Call for Planning Reform That Works

Legislation is only as good as its implementation. At UKREiiF, our session made one thing clear: clarity and equity must underpin all future reforms.

Key talking points:

  • Karen Charles' comment on taking things "too literally" reflects how rigid interpretations can stifle progress.
  • The greenbelt debate and reduced housing targets raise questions about balance.
  • Transparency, simplicity and fairness must guide all new planning legislation.

Quote highlight:
"We take things too literally and sometimes too literally can actually cause a problem." – Karen Charles, Executive Director, Boyer


Boyer is committed to interpreting and implementing planning policy in a way that drives positive, pragmatic outcomes for all.
