Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 September 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

As a consequence, one of the aspects that the Government set out in the guide to the Bill is to try to get national consistency. Admittedly, the devolution Bill is actually about centralising a lot of control rather than having local determination. I understand that it is important for developers, but I made the point the other day that people lose trust in politicians and the process when we start to tinker what they have voted for, both nationally and locally, and that is why we see challenge after challenge.
