My hon. Friend the Minister of State for Housing and Planning has made the following Written Ministerial Statement.
On 9 July 2015, I extended for a period of 6 months the criteria for consideration of the recovery of planning appeals to include proposals for residential development over 10 units in areas where a qualifying body has submitted a neighbourhood plan proposal to the local planning authority or where a neighbourhood plan has been made (Hansard HCWS90); and I am now extending that period for a further 6 months from today.
