Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, by what date he plans to announce whether the Rushden Lakes/Skew Bridge planning application has been accepted.

The Secretary of State issued his decision on this case on 11 June. He has decided to grant planning permission for this development. A copy of the decision letter and the Inspector's report has been sent to my hon. friend and to other interested parties, and these documents are available on the GOV.UK website at:
