New clause 27 - Qualified third party right of appeal
Planning and Compulsory Purchase (Re-committed) Bill
5:30 pm
Mr Clive Betts (Sheffield, Attercliffe, Labour)
The hon. Gentleman is not quite right there. The right of appeal is not activated in the case that he has raised, where an officer recommends acceptance and the decision is made to refuse—although a recommendation might influence the success of the appeal, because the appellant can quote back the officer's recommendation. In the hon. Gentleman's example, the right of appeal is influenced by the officer's recommendation. There is a difference.
