To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will review permitted development rights to help local authorities to tackle unauthorised car parking, particularly near airports.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will review permitted development rights to help local authorities to tackle unauthorised car parking, particularly near airports.
Where it is necessary to protect the local amenity or wellbeing of an area, local planning authorities can remove permitted development rights in respect of the temporary use of land through an Article 4 direction.
We continue to keep permitted development rights under review.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps she is taking to ensure that Universal Credit claimants can obtain clear and consistent guidance on whether particular financial receipts including the sale of personal possessions must be declared and how they will affect entitlement, in cases where...

The Department does not routinely require receipts for the sale or disposal of personal possessions. Claimants must declare capital that may affect entitlement to means-tested benefits and are continually advised and reminded of their responsibility for declaring any capital they hold. For Universal Credit, capital up to £6,000 does not affect entitlement; capital between £6,000 and £16,000 is treated as assumed income; and entitlement usually ends where accessible capital exceeds £16,000. Where relevant, the Department may ask for evidence to understand what has happened to capital, but receipts are requested only where appropriate. If a claimant deliberately reduces or transfers capital to obtain or increase benefit, they may be treated as still possessing it as notional capital.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he has taken to tackle illegal gasworks on private properties.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he has taken to tackle illegal gasworks on private properties.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the enforcing authority for gas businesses and engineers (including self- employed gas engineers) who work in private properties. Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 (GSIUR) requires engineers undertaking gas work to be competent, registered with Gas Safe Register (GSR), to work in accordance with the appropriate standards and in a way that does not put people in danger.
HSE regulate this in private properties through enforcement powers set under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Enforcement powers available to regulators include prosecution, prohibition notices and improvement notices.
GSR also has a dedicated team to investigate allegations of gas work by unregistered engineers and businesses (illegal gas fitters) and provides HSE with evidence of these activities. In addition to this, GSR publishes a range of gas safety information and guidance on its website and regularly runs media campaigns to promote key gas safety messages to the public.

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Baroness Hayman of Ullock on 20 January (HL13504) and 21 January (HL13620), whether it is their policy that, where landowners cannot afford or are not technically able or qualified to remove waste, it will remain in place indefinitely.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Baroness Hayman of Ullock on 20 January (HL13504) and 21 January (HL13620), whether it is their policy that, where landowners cannot afford or are not technically able or qualified to remove waste, it will remain in place indefinitely.
The Government may step in and clear waste in exceptional circumstances to protect the public and the environment. However, as with any other type of crime the Government cannot and should not fund a general clean-up service for criminals at the expense of the taxpayer. We do however acknowledge that this approach can sometimes leave waste in situ for long periods of time.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assistance the Environment Agency provides landowners to help them prevent illegal waste sites from being established on their land.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assistance the Environment Agency provides landowners to help them prevent illegal waste sites from being established on their land.
The Environment Agency (EA) asks that landowners report illegal waste activity immediately on its 24-hour incident hotline on 0800 80 70 60, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 to enable early intervention.
The EA will investigate illegal waste activity to, where possible, identify the perpetrator and require them to clear the waste, taking appropriate enforcement action to punish and deter.
The EA collaborates with partners such as National Farmers Union and Royal Chartered Institute of Surveyors to run communication campaigns aimed at educating landowners. We work with partners locally such as rural police crime teams to raise awareness and share information to combat waste crime.
The EA encourages landowners to check empty land and property regularly to ensure it is secure, stopping criminals from gaining access.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Hayman of Ullock on 20 January 2026 (HL13504), why a farmer or landowner is required to bear the cost of the unlawful dumping of waste by an unidentified third party on their land.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Hayman of Ullock on 20 January 2026 (HL13504), why a farmer or landowner is required to bear the cost of the unlawful dumping of waste by an unidentified third party on their land.
We recognise the financial burden that clearing fly-tipped waste places on landowners. However, central Government generally does not compensate victims of non-violent crime. It is important not to create a perverse incentive for some people to dump, or facilitate the dumping of, waste.
However, where there is sufficient evidence, fly-tippers can be prosecuted and, on conviction, a cost order can be made by the court so that a landowner’s costs can be recovered from the perpetrator.
We are working with a wide range of interested parties through the National Fly-Tipping Prevention Group, such as the National Farmers Union (NFU), to promote and disseminate good practice, including how to prevent fly-tipping on private land.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Baroness Hayman of Ullock on Wednesday 14 January (HL Deb col 1727), what specific plans they have to provide (1) practical, and (2) financial, assistance to the victims of organised waste tipping on private land to support them with the cost...

The Government is committed to tackling waste crime and continues to keep under review how best to do this.
It is a long-established policy that landowners are responsible for clearing dumped or abandoned waste from their land.
We continue to work with stakeholders, such as the National Farmers Union (NFU) and local authorities, through the National Fly-Tipping Prevention Group to share good practice, including how to prevent fly-tipping on private land. The Environment Agency also conducts communications campaigns around tackling and preventing waste crime, including working through landowner associations such as the NFU or The Country Land and Business Association.

Data on the proportion of illegal dumping incidents on private land where the perpetrator is identified and required to remove the waste is not held centrally.
In instances where the perpetrator dumping waste on private land is not identified responsibility to remove the waste falls to the landowner.

There is no plan to make an assessment of the responsibilities of local authorities in relation to clearing up fly-tipping that takes place on a private land more than 10 metres from the highway.
Landowners are responsible for clearing waste from land that they own.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department plans to (a) amend planning policy and (b) issue guidance on how local planning authorities should frame enforceable planning conditions where delivery of critical drainage works depends on access to third-party land.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department plans to (a) amend planning policy and (b) issue guidance on how local planning authorities should frame enforceable planning conditions where delivery of critical drainage works depends on access to third-party land.
My Department’s Planning Practice Guidance already provides guidance on the use of negatively-worded planning conditions (often termed Grampian conditions) to deal with the delivery of infrastructure required for a development (such as drainage) which is on third party land.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of Section 106 obligations on developer funding for the (a) long-term maintenance or (b) adoption of sustainable drainage infrastructure where those assets fall outside the red line boundary of...
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of Section 106 obligations on developer funding for the (a) long-term maintenance or (b) adoption of sustainable drainage infrastructure where those assets fall outside the red line boundary of...
The National Planning Policy Framework makes clear that developments of all sizes should use sustainable drainage techniques where the development could have drainage impacts. This is supported by National Planning Guidance which sets out that local authorities should be satisfied that all Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) have maintenance and adoption arrangements in place for the lifetime of the development.
It is the responsibility of local planning authorities to consider whether otherwise unacceptable development could be made acceptable through the use of conditions or planning obligations when determining applications. All section 106 contributions must comply with the three tests in regulation 122 of the CIL regulations (necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms, directly related to the development; and reasonable in scale and kind). Infrastructure such as SUDS, which can lie outside the red line boundary of new housing developments, can be capable of being funded by section 106 contributions where it meets the statutory tests.
National design guidance, which is part of the Planning Practice Guidance, also explains that well-designed places are designed and planned for long-term stewardship, and well-managed and maintained by their users, owners and other stakeholders.

Another resident contacted me and said:
“I’ll probably just pay the fine without contesting it, because the hassle of appealing would be too much.”
