Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 October 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

I ask the Minister to respond and perhaps reassure me on these points. First, I would not like to be a local planning authority right now: you are damned if you do and damned if you do not. If you make a decision wrong in one direction, it gets called in; if you make a decision wrong in the other, it gets called in. It is a bit of a dog’s life, really, and quite tricky.
