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


Planning Bill

In case the planners in west Berkshire are watching this, let me give vent to their feelings by asking the Minister this. If the planners refuse applications, as they frequently do, to build high-density units on gardens when such developments would be inappropriate in certain areas, they are then refused on appeal, with the inspector citing national policy. That is the problem right up and down the country. Is the Minister saying that I, the planners in west Berkshire and everybody who is experiencing that is wrong?
