Labour — Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 January 2025

Debate

Planning Reform

Contribution

A constituent of mine is endeavouring to prevent her neighbour from building an extension that would affect the rights of access set out in her restrictive covenant. She was initially quoted £80,000 to £100,000 to take the neighbour to court. Such costs make civil law inaccessible to ordinary people. Will the Minister consider looking at ways that restrictive covenants can be brought into the planning process as a material consideration?
