New Clause 49 - Local development plan
Planning and Compulsory Purchase (Re-committed) Bill
5:00 pm
Mr Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Cotswold, Conservative)
After those nine months that he has told us about, the hon. Gentleman obviously has intimate knowledge of how the Government propose to organise things, so can he tell the Committee why the Government require under clause 19 that the local plan development document shall be subject to an
independent examination, yet the local development scheme, which is what stands at the top of the hierarchy, shall not be subject to local independent examination? Are we not talking about just another complication and inconsistency in the Bill, with all these categories of documents?
