Andy Burnham will unveil proposals giving England's devolved mayors powers to call in and pre-approve the largest schemes — 150+ homes, 15,000 sq m commercial, or 30m+ buildings. For developers and proptech vendors, mayoral combined authorities become a new consent route and buyer, compressing timelines on strategic projects and shifting the planning-software market's decision point.
England's devolved mayors are set to gain power to call in planning decisions, grant upfront permission, and approve schemes over 150 homes without full applications — compressing development timelines. For proptech, this reshapes the planning software, land assembly, and construction-tech pipeline, creating demand for tools that help developers and councils move faster within the new rules.
A new Which? survey reveals that one-third of homeowners who rejected heat pumps did so because of long-term uncertainties, including fears about resale value and dodgy installers. For the property industry, these psychological barriers signal both a valuation risk and a major opportunity for PropTech tools that bring transparency to heat pump performance, installer quality, and energy savings.
A critical report from the National Audit Office (NAO) reveals that the UK government lacks a comprehensive understanding of how shared ownership schemes function for consumers. The findings highlight significant information gaps and systemic complexities that may undermine the effectiveness of affordable housing initiatives.
UK ministers have announced a dual-track strategy to decarbonize housing, mandating heat pumps for new developments while clearing the path for plug-in solar panels to hit retail shelves within months. This move signals a significant shift toward decentralized, consumer-led renewable energy adoption and stricter building standards.
The UK Government is facing intense scrutiny following allegations that it has used 'preposterous' and 'hugely inflated' employment estimates to push through hyperscale data centre developments. A report by Action to Protect Rural Scotland (APRS) claims that direct operational jobs at these sites are a fraction of the figures cited by ministers, potentially undermining the economic justification for large-scale land use.
