Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 July 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

The Government recognise the importance of creating certainty for applicants about what is required through legislation and what should rightly be a matter of discretion for applicants. Clause 5 contains a clear definition of a host local authority, to provide clarity to applicants about who should be notified. Removing this definition would create confusion and result in unnecessary notifications.
