Neighbourhood Planning Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beecham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 23 February 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on Neighbourhood Planning Bill.

My Lords, I can reassure the Deputy Speaker that I shall not take long. The amendment deals with restrictions on planning conditions set out in Clause 13, and in particular the new provision which will incorporate into the Town and Country Planning Act new Section 100ZA which deals with restrictions on the power to impose planning conditions.

Amendment 15 is basically a simple amendment that adds something to the conditions that will apply to those regulations. For example, the Bill refers to them as having to be,

“necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms …relevant the development … sufficiently precise to make it capable of being complied with and enforced … reasonable in all other respects”.

The amendment simply adds,

“sustainable development and public interest”,

to the criteria for making those regulations. I hope that the Minister will feel able to accept that and I beg to move.
