Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 17 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill 2005-06.

As amended in the Standing Committee, further considered.

In my constituency of Kettering, major planning applications for thousands of houses are about to be submitted. The local rumour is that there will be two applications, each for 5,000 houses. If those applications were determined by the local authority but did not include a community energy project, under clause 16(1) could the Secretary of State insist retrospectively on the inclusion of such a scheme, which might meet with the approval of local residents, even it were not in the local plan?
