Baroness Taylor of Stevenage (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 September 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

I shall briefly respond to that. While national park authorities will not sit on boards, they will have a very important role to play in the preparation of the SDS. We will expect boards and other authorities with national parks in their areas to engage very closely with national park authorities to ensure that the valued areas remain protected. National park authorities will continue to prepare local plans for their areas, which will set out policies for them on the use and development of land.
