Growth and Infrastructure Bill

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

The hon. Lady makes an extremely important point. I was going to raise it in a moment, but I shall raise it now. The Planning Minister told the Select Committee that the development would be limited to 50% of the garden, but the consultation document does not say that. It says 50% of the curtilage of the house. As the Royal Town Planning Institute has pointed out, the two are self-evidently not the same. I would happily give way at this moment to the Secretary of State if he could clarify a simple question. Is it 50% of the garden or 50% of the curtilage?
