Martin Vickers

Conservative — Brigg and Immingham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 December 2025

Debate

Planning Reform

Contribution

The Minister’s statement referenced a presumption in favour of sustainable development on certain brownfield sites. Will applications for those developments still have to undertake a traffic and environmental impact assessment? If, for example, the highway network were found to be inadequate, would the local planning authority be able to refuse that application?
