Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

My Lords, I think I am right in saying that there was a legal challenge that required these environmental assessments to be carried out. It is a necessity to make sure that they are all carried forward properly. The noble Lord asked about the relevance to the presumption in favour of sustainable development. There will be no change to that until the local development frameworks are developed and the national planning framework comes in.
