Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps his Department is taking to give residents greater say over local developments.
The Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill includes a number of measures to give residents a more effective voice, including more accessible and locally-relevant plans, mandatory design codes, street votes and digital powers which will transform the way that information can be accessed. Comments on planning applications will continue to be taken into account as part of the decision-making process.
