Peers backed the return of strategic planning across council boundaries, but pressed ministers on how the new spatial development strategies will work in practice: who will draw them up, how far local councils will stay in control, how green belt and flood-risk rules will apply, and whether affordable housing will be built into them. The Government said these regulations are only the first step, with fuller rules to be consulted on after the summer and brought forward in the autumn.

Ministers said planned changes to the home buying process would cut delays, costs and failed sales, but peers questioned whether this was enough to overcome high prices, deposit barriers, stamp duty, shared ownership problems and the shortage of affordable and social housing.

Ministers defended planning reforms against claims they could weaken local plans, saying councils should still lead decisions where they have up-to-date plans and pointing to funding for nearly 200 authorities, while rural affordable housing rules remain under review after consultation.
