Localism Bill

My Lords, it seems a long time since I introduced this group of amendments and it has been a very interesting discussion. I am very grateful to the Minister for dealing valiantly with questions flying at her from all corners of the Committee. I am not sure that she has satisfactorily answered all mine yet but I shall not pursue them any further tonight. I shall read Hansard carefully and take up matters afterwards. I am not going to get involved in the design argument, other than to say cynically that good design is what I like and bad design is what I do not like. However, that is a cynical view. In many cases you can more easily recognise bad design than good design and get consensus on that, but the important point is that design and style are very different things. You can have good design in almost every style of building and architecture, and that is the crucial point that people often miss. I said that I was not going to get involved in design and then started talking about it. I shall now shut up and beg leave to withdraw Amendment 150F. Amendment 150F withdrawn. Amendments 151 to 152ZC not moved. Schedule 9, as amended, agreed. Schedule 10 : Process for making of neighbourhood development orders Schedule 10 : Process for making of neighbourhood development orders Amendment 152ZD not moved. Committee to begin again not before 8.33 pm. House resumed. Moved by
