Conservative — Aldridge-Brownhills

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 July 2025

Debate

Neighbourhood Plans: Planning Decisions

Contribution

On that point, some of us do not have parish councils, but the local voice in neighbourhood planning is still important. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that this insistence on top-down targets is driving out any space for local communities and the local voice? That is deeply damaging if we want to create sustainable communities.
