Planning Bill
12:00 pm
Elfyn Llwyd (Parliamentary Leader; Meirionnydd Nant Conwy, Plaid Cymru)
Mr. Upton, you will be aware of the fact that in some planning systems there is a qualified third-party right of appeal. In the paperwork that you have submitted regarding this Bill, you have expressed concerns that might arise from third-party communities and whether they would be heard and so on. Are you satisfied that the conduct of cross-examinations, as foreseen in the Bill, is going to deliver what you are concerned about? Or is it going to impede hearing what third parties have to say?
