Planning

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, further to the Planning Inspectorate decision, reference: APP/A5840/W/25/3366760, whether he considered recovering the Peckham’s Aylesham Centre planning appeal; and what assessment has he made of the implications of the Planning Inspectorate decision for brownfield regeneration in (a) London and (b) outside London.

Answer

Decisions on the recovery of appeals are made in accordance with the policy as set out in a 2008 Written Ministerial Statement, which can be found on gov.uk here.

As the Planning Inspectorate decision in question is now subject to a legal challenge, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the implications of it or the original proposal.
