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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will take steps to grant local authorities the power to carry out a review of any building site where it considers that there are an excessive number of lorry movements onto that site.

Local planning authorities have broad powers to impose conditions on the grant of planning permission to help improve the quality of development and mitigate any adverse impacts. This can include, if appropriate, a condition to submit for approval of construction management plans to manage traffic and transport movements during the construction phase. Where development is not carried out in accordance with a planning condition, local planning authorities can take enforcement action to remedy a breach of planning control.
