Progressive housing policies, alongside an effective planning system and local leadership ensure a community-led approach. This will deliver affordable homes that meet the needs of people and communities. We will deliver a new approach to strategic planning that brings housing, regeneration, connectivity and economic development together within a single, coherent vision for Wales.

The new changes to the energy efficiency requirements of the building regulations in Wales will come into force in March 2027. These will mandate requirements for low-carbon heating systems, such as heat pumps or heat networks, and renewable electricity generation, such as solar panels, in all newly built dwellings.

The town-centre taskforce will address the structural challenges facing town centres, including business rates and planning reform, by working collaboratively with partners and maintaining a strong focus on delivery to help town centres adapt, attract investment and activity, and thrive in the years ahead.

Adequate and efficient infrastructure, including services such as education and health, is crucial for economic, social and environmental sustainability. Planning authorities should, in conjunction with key providers, take a strategic and long-term approach towards the provision of infrastructure as part of local plan development.

We committed in our manifesto to exploring opportunities for further permitted development rights to allow community-led housing and make it easier to convert empty buildings on high streets and spaces above shops into residences. This will be achieved through changes to regulations.
The cabinet is the group of twenty or so (and no more than 22) senior government ministers who are responsible for running the departments of state and deciding government policy.
It is chaired by the prime minister.
The cabinet is bound by collective responsibility, which means that all its members must abide by and defend the decisions it takes, despite any private doubts that they might have.
Cabinet ministers are appointed by the prime minister and chosen from MPs or peers of the governing party.
However, during periods of national emergency, or when no single party gains a large enough majority to govern alone, coalition governments have been formed with cabinets containing members from more than one political party.
War cabinets have sometimes been formed with a much smaller membership than the full cabinet.
From time to time the prime minister will reorganise the cabinet in order to bring in new members, or to move existing members around. This reorganisation is known as a cabinet re-shuffle.
The cabinet normally meets once a week in the cabinet room at Downing Street.
