Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 21 October 2020 to Question 104771, on The Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development and Miscellaneous Amendments) (England) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2020: what assessment he has made of the merits of extending the scope of those measures to include those (a) pubs and (b) hospitality businesses that are listed buildings, and cannot erect temporary outside structures within their curtilage due to the constraints of listed building consents.

As set out in my answer to Question UIN 104771 on 21 October 2020, we will continue to keep the rights under review, as is the case for all Covid-19 related measures.
