PRESS RELEASE
Turner & Townsend, the global programme management company, has been appointed as one of three suppliers to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) to deliver Local Plan Intervention Services.
The three-year framework will see Turner & Townsend and the wider supply chain provide multi-disciplinary services to MHCLG’s team, supporting local planning authorities to prepare and accelerate progress on their Local Plans to the point of adoption.
The company will lead on project management, whilst other suppliers will support town planning, landscaping, environmental and ecology, flood risk, development viability, spatial strategy and more.
Local Plans are critical for providing certainty to communities, developers and housebuilders on what types of development can take place and where.
Through this appointment, Turner & Townsend’s London-based central and local government teams will directly support the government’s ambition to deliver 1.5 million homes in England over this parliament.
“It’s a pivotal time for the planning system and this appointment is an important opportunity for us to support MHCLG’s efforts to help local planning authorities to put new guidance and regulations into practice and get their local plans ready and underway.
“We’re looking forward to working closely with planning teams and local authorities to enable the development of timely, achievable local plans that will unlock the housing and infrastructure needed by communities across the country.”
