Proceeding contribution from Lord Dixon-Smith (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 6 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.

Planning Bill

My Lords, is the Minister considering the right question when he says that it is a matter for the IPC to consider? Surely the duty needs to fall ultimately on the applicants. That is the issue that we need to get across. If we followed the amendments of the right reverend Prelate, the contribution to mitigation would be shifted across to the applicant, who would have to show how their application made a contribution. That is an extension of what the Minister is saying. It is not enough to discuss this matter just in the context of the planning commission.
