To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the Government Planning Inspectorate's decision to approve Homes England's plan to build 260 new homes on Brislington Meadows.
Answer
The Planning Inspectorate deals with planning appeals and a variety of other casework in England. This decision was made by the Inspectorate on behalf of the Secretary of State. The reasons for it were set out in the formal appeal decision, published on the Inspectorate's website, and the decision remains final unless successfully challenged in the courts.
