Proceeding contribution from Duncan Hames (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on National Planning Policy Framework.


National Planning Policy Framework

The hon. Lady is recognised for her expertise on this subject. Does she agree that the reason the definition of ““sustainable development”” published in the draft framework has three legs is that all three of them count? It would not be satisfactory for developments to benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development if they were contributing to just one of those three legs and the overall net effect on sustainability was negative.
