Proceeding contribution from Lord Whitehead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.


Planning Bill

My right hon. Friend mentions the question of local authority permissions for renewable devices on roofs. As the Bill makes its way through the House, will she ensure that that permission is genuinely widely based and is not constrained by various considerations such as the nature of the protection of the particular zone that a house is in or the way in which the house relates to other properties in the area? Will she ensure that there is a genuinely clear definition that enables renewable devices to be placed on houses without hindrance by local authorities on a variable basis across the country?
