Debate
Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
In particular, on applications for large-scale developments, amendments to proposals are needed to make sure they are compliant with planning policy. Section 106 negotiations are also needed to ensure that affordable housing and other infrastructure are provided, and deemed consent would adversely affect this. Creating a deemed consent regime would require a set of standard conditions to be applied which would further complicate the planning process.
