Clause 37 - Development plan
Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill
9:45 am
Mr Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Cotswold, Conservative)
I am grateful to the Minister for given way again; he is being extremely generous, but it is an important matter. We have had some clarification in relation to London. I hope that this is my last intervention.
I ask the Minister to turn his mind to the situation in the shire districts. What would happen there? How would conflicts be resolved? What would happen if the regional spatial plan handed down house-building target numbers to each local development scheme and plan? What flexibility would each local authority have to reduce, or even to increase, that target number?
