Neighbourhood Planning Bill

Proceeding contribution from Robert Neill (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 October 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Neighbourhood Planning Bill.

I am grateful to the Secretary of State for taking a short lawyer’s intervention. When he is consulting on planning obligations, will he also consult on the option that was considered in the Housing and Planning Act 2016: the ability for local authorities to buy their own land with planning obligations, as the local planning authority? That would greatly speed up the redevelopment process in urban areas.
