Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
We welcome the Government’s assurances on strengthening pre-application consultation guidance and the early water NPS review, but stronger statutory backing would have been preferable. Although we do not wish to hold up the Bill, as I have said, it remains disappointing that the Government are not prepared to go further, given the risks to residents and communities.
