Housing and Regeneration Bill
11:15 am
Nick Day: Obviously, there are complex arrangements with regard to larger regeneration schemes and yes, there will be some difficult questions to answer. We have not entirely formed our position on that, but instinctively we would be concerned if there were scope for a local authority’s priorities seemingly to be overridden. I cannot give a categorical answer, because we have not been through that level of detail on the provisions, but we have an instinctive concern, where we see the potential for a local authority to lose some of its discretion in its area.
