Proceeding contribution from Lord Berkeley (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 6 October 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Planning Bill.


Planning Bill

I do not understand some of that; maybe it is the time of night. I thought that the whole point of the Bill and the policy statement was to give developers comfort. They have an enormous amount of work before anything even gets to the NPC, which they will have to fund themselves. If they comply with the national policy statement, however, they have a good chance of getting a fair hearing and possibly getting permission. Without a policy statement, where is the comfort for them to go ahead?
