Proceeding contribution from Baroness Coffey (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 27 October 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning and Infrastructure Bill.


Planning and Infrastructure Bill

My Lords, I remind noble Lords that currently, an owner of a building has permitted development rights to demolish it unless it is a pub, live music venue, theatre or concert hall.

I wish to add assets of community value to that list of exemptions, so I beg to move this amendment and wish to test the opinion of the House.
