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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she has made an assessment of the benefit of including the Garden Trust as a statutory consultee to planning decisions.

The Gardens Trust is currently a statutory consultee on “development likely to affect all registered gardens or parks”.

I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement made on 10 March 2025 (HCWS510).
