Sir Roger Gale

Conservative — Herne Bay and Sandwich

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 June 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

This relates directly to the Bill. Not only does it relate directly to the Bill, but there are dozens of amendments all relating to this one single issue. The fact of the matter is that, under the proposals as they stand, we will lose vast swathes of prime agricultural land because planning consent will effectively be driven straight through. That is simply not satisfactory.
