Clause 1
Sustainable Communities Bill
10:45 am
Dan Rogerson (Shadow Minister, Department for Communities and Local Government; North Cornwall, Liberal Democrat)
To return to the Minister’s comments on his amendment, he seemed concerned that the drafting was not tight enough and might disadvantage communities represented by local authorities in battles with larger developers. However, local authorities’ great support for the Bill’s provisions seems to imply that they are happy with what the Bill offers them and would welcome the opportunity to have those powers and to take on the fight.
