Proceeding contribution from Michael Fabricant (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.


Planning Bill

I am interested in what the Minister said about the regulations already being in place. When there are instances of garden grabbing in my constituency, Lichfield district council says that they are out of its hands. The council says that it is directed by regional policy and national policy guidance and has no choice but to allow gardens to be used for building, because they are regarded as brownfield sites. Is the Minister saying that the council and, more importantly, the National Association of Local Councils are wrong on that point?
