Growth and Infrastructure Bill

Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 April 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Growth and Infrastructure Bill.

I am still struggling with understanding why the Secretary of State is resisting amendment 7 and instead arguing in favour of article 4. He says the amendment’s scope is far too wide, but that article 4 is there to be used instead. Are there therefore certain circumstances in which authorities may want to opt out

of permitted development rights under amendment 7, but would not be able to use article 4? If so, what are those circumstances?
