Proceeding contribution from Baroness Vere of Norbiton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 20 April 2023. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill.

Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill

I had better write with more details on that subject. As noble Lords will know, I have not been involved in the Bill for very long but, reflecting on some of the contributions to the Built Environment Committee, I sometimes question whether noble Lords have any confidence in local authorities at all. If the noble Baroness is asking what the balance is between commercial interests and other local interests, I ask: do we not want the local authority to be making those decisions for its local communities and therefore granting planning permission on that basis? In terms of how we would provide the overarching vision for that, I am very happy to set that out in more detail in a letter.
