Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) 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

Of course I accept that this is a genuine effort to get the balance right. But it is difficult to understand that there has to be flexibility with regard to the thresholds—which I have sought to preserve although perhaps not in an elegant or correct way—but not enough to respond to developments in technology; because thresholds is capacity by another term. Perhaps I am not sufficiently imaginative about what new projects there might be as distinct from capacity. That is very much what I am driving at in these amendments. I do not know whether the Minister has anything more to say.
