Planning: Appeals

Debate between Earl Attlee and Lord Rennard

Tuesday 12th October 2010 Lords Chamber

[Lord Rennard]

My Lords, when might legislation be brought before Parliament to change the planning system? How far does the Minister think that local authorities might be expected to anticipate such legislation?

[Earl Attlee]

My Lords, I do not think local authorities need to anticipate legislation. The localism Bill has a significant proportion of planning provisions in it and it will be appearing before Parliament very soon.
