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

moved Amendment No. 156: 156: Clause 30, page 19, line 5, leave out ““or forms part of”” The noble Baroness said: This amendment is repeated in my Amendment No. 162 in a later clause. Clause 30 provides for when development consent is required, "““to the extent that the development is or forms part of a nationally significant infrastructure project””." Both amendments would remove ““or forms part of””, to probe what that means. Are there some de minimis arrangements? How will they work? Is the provision designed to sweep up after the bulk of the project has been determined? There is nothing sinister in this: I am unclear what the limits are. It seems odd that development consent and all the paraphernalia that that entails would apply if the part is very small. I beg to move.
