Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lord Bellingham (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 30 June 2014 on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Local Development Frameworks
- Question
-
I thank my hon. Friend for that very helpful reply. Does he agree that, given the importance of localism and local authority autonomy, councils such as King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, which has plans in place plus a five-year-plus supply of housing, should have a very good chance indeed of not being overridden on appeal when it comes to speculative, opportunistic developments?
- Answer
-
My hon. Friend is absolutely right. The key is having a robust five-year land supply and, if an authority can demonstrate that, there is absolutely no reason why their decisions about housing development should not stick.
