Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
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.
