Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

Amendment 185SG would require authorities to follow best practice guidance, published by the Secretary of State, for the development of community infrastructure. It would also require authorities to publish an annual report assessing their compliance with the guidance. This Government recognise how critical it is that new homes are accompanied by supporting infrastructure. The NPPF sets out that the purpose of the planning system is to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development, including the provision of supporting infrastructure in a sustainable manner.
