Chinese Embassy: Planning Permission
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what the material considerations were that satisfied the call-in criteria for the proposed Chinese Embassy near the Tower of London.
- Answer
-
Call-in decisions are inherently about process and not the merits of any given planning application.
I refer the hon Member to the Written Ministerial Statement made on 26 March 2019 (HCWS1452) which outlines the broad criteria for calling-in planning applications, but makes clear it is not restrictive in its application.
