Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.


Planning Bill

I am very grateful; the Minister has been generous. The hon. Member for North Cornwall (Mr. Rogerson) made a very good point. The enforcement powers are likely to be time consuming and will require a great deal of expertise from senior planning officers. Therefore, small authorities such as my own—the Under-Secretary knows it well—and, no doubt, in North Cornwall will be overstretched in dealing with enforcement issues. Will there be any mechanism whereby they can reclaim costs incurred in taking enforcement measures?
