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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to ensure that the planning systems helps to promote physical activity, including cycling and walking; what assessment he has made of the wellbeing benefits of such measures; and what assessment he has made of the potential savings to the public purse from public health improvements arising from such measures.

I refer my hon. Friend to my written answer of 22 October to the hon. Member for Brighton, Pavillion (Caroline Lucas), PQ 210760. Such steps are implemented and reported on locally.
