Proceeding contribution from Lord Turnbull (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 October 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Planning Bill.

Planning Bill

No case should ever go to the IPC on the basis of a stale NPS. That is the abuse that we want to stop. There may be an NPS where the project has taken place and there are no further applications. It is not necessary to review an NPS in which there is no prospect of any cases being brought in that area. However, where cases are being brought, I agree that there should be a presumption, created somehow or other, that the NPS should be reviewed and that one cannot go to the next stage on the basis of something that is old.
