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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the answer of 22 July 2025 to Question HL9253 on Planning Permission: Public Consultation, if he will make it his policy to bring the Street Vote provisions from the Levelling Up and Regeneration Act 2023 into effect.

Although UIN HL9253 set out that the government does not currently intend to implement the street votes provisions in the Levelling Up and Regeneration Act 2023, I can clarify that no final decision has been taken.

We are currently considering how we might support urban densification through a new suite of national policies for decision making that we intend to consult on later this year.
