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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the national plan of delegation on planning decisions, whether local planning authorities will be able to provide for a call-in procedure to (a) Full Council, or (b) Planning Committee, if requested by (i) ward councillors or (ii) councillors generally.

The national scheme of delegation does not allow for direct call in to committee by councillors.
