Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning-gain Supplement (Preparations) Bill.

Planning-gain Supplement (Preparations) Bill

The hon. Gentleman mentions the Scottish Executive’s response, which contained concerns about the difficulty now, and potential difficulty in future, of providing more affordable housing as land prices may be driven up by the proposals. The hon. Gentleman also referred to section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997, which states:"““A planning authority may enter into an agreement with a person interested in land””" and that any such agreement"““may contain… incidental and consequential provisions (including financial ones)””—" obviously, in respect of planning gain. What assessment has the hon. Gentleman made of the impact on land available for affordable housing? Is there any further information from the Scottish Executive to flesh out some of the concerns that were set out earlier?
