Written evidence to be reported to the House
Planning Bill

Thinking back to major projects, I remember the frustrations of the eight years it took us to get the legislation through for the building of the Cardiff Bay barrage. It is difficult to think of or find any opponents now, but they were around at the time. Major issues do come up, which require investigation and research. So, are you satisfied that the process will allow for difficult issues to be dealt with, as well as—if you like—the ones that have already been explored long before the planning application comes to fruition?
