Baroness Taylor of Stevenage (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 September 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

I was responding to amendments submitted by the Opposition Front Bench in the way that I thought most helpful. Having had experience of this in Hertfordshire, I believe having a strategic plan that sits above the local plan simplifies the local plan process, and means that people are working together with knowledge and experience of their local area to make better decisions on those things that will drive economic investment across the county and things such as housing and infrastructure needs. It is as simple and straightforward as making the process better for local people to deliver the things they need, and to drive our economy forward. I am not taking any lessons on that from the party opposite.
