New Clause 10 — Local Development Plan
Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill — [2nd Allotted Day]
3:00 pm
Mr Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Cotswold, Conservative)
I am holding the documents to which the Minister refers. My local planning officer asked me the other day how his staff were supposed to cope with getting to grips with all the documentation. His department is already overstretched, as there are not enough planning officers to deal with the present system, to say nothing of the new one. How are they supposed to deal with the new system, with an even more complicated section 106 procedure system as well?
