Planning Permission: Public Consultation
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to proceed with the policy of street votes authorised by Chapter 4 of Part 3 of the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023.

The Government is still reviewing its policy inheritance from the last government, including in relation to street votes, we have announced on the 8 and 30 July the first steps we are taking to fix the planning system and unlock new housing. The Government will set out its plans for further planning reform in due course.
