Proceeding contribution from Lord Tyler (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 October 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Planning Bill.

Planning Bill

How does the Minister propose to ensure that third parties, who may be local representatives, are built into the system so that they can make representations to seek a full hearing rather than simply a decision based on written representations? I, for example, as a local councillor, have several times appeared at planning inquiries to represent the views of the local community as opposed to the planning authority or the applicant. That can be the deciding factor.
