Victoria Collins

Liberal Democrat — Harpenden and Berkhamsted

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 February 2026

Debate

Local Transport: Planning Developments

Contribution

I agree with parts of the hon. Member’s intervention. The developers have armies of legal teams and, as I will come on to, the national legislation is open to interpretation when it comes to roads. Councils are essentially left powerless to enforce the legislation, because developers find the loopholes. They have the money and the power to push past.
