Welcome to the All Party Urban Development Group website

The All Party Urban Development Group report "Next Steps: A Regeneration Agenda for the Next Government" sets out four important measures that the new Government needs to implement if it is to safeguard regeneration over the next 10 years.

 

Based on in-depth research, the report recommends that:

 

 1.    Public sector investment should be prioritised on the areas that need it most.

 

 2.    Business rates should be localised and mechanisms to forward fund infrastructure such as tax increment financing (TIF) should be introduced.

 

 3.    Planning reform should be limited after the first year of the next government and planning performance agreements (PPAs) should be used more.

 

 4.    There should be a greater focus on increasing housing supply and stamp duty should be adjusted to encourage greater investment in the private rented sector.
