Localism Bill (ways and means)

Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Localism Bill.
I want to get down to practicalities. Given that these matters are now material considerations, is it not the case that when an application comes before a local planning authority, the officer of that authority will have a responsibility to explain in their recommendations precisely what financial considerations there are and how much will be gained by the authority and the community from granting the application? That is completely different from any present requirement on any planning officer to explain any financial matters before the planning committee makes a decision on an application.
