On Monday, the noble Earl, Lord Russell, asked why we are doing this and what the purpose is. It seems to me that the purpose of Part 3 is not to clean up nature or to get Britain building; it is simply to puff up an anti-growth quango, giving it a super-veto over developments in a significant proportion of our nation, for no other purpose than to build a bureaucracy that gets in the way of growth, makes it harder to generate taxes for public services, and is so expensive to the developer that the pursuance of other important infra- structure such as social housing is crowded out.
