Planning Bill

Robert Upton: There are two elements to that. First, we broadly support the idea of the IPC taking an inquisitorial approach. We think that that is right for the management of the process. We think that it is important that the IPC should be required to hear anybody and everybody who can demonstrate an interest.
Although I said that there were two elements to this, if I can have a third, there is also an interesting question about the extent to which bodies such as Planning Aid, for which we are responsible, can help communities to take effective part in the process.
