New Clause 17 - Default powers exercisable by Mayor of London or combined authority

Housing and Planning Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 11:30 am on 10 December 2015.

Alert me about debates like this

“(1) After section 27 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 insert—

‘27A Default powers exercisable by Mayor of London or combined authority

Schedule A1 (default powers exercisable by Mayor of London or combined authority) has effect.’

(2) Before Schedule 1 to that Act insert, as Schedule A1, the Schedule set out in Schedule (Default powers exercisable by Mayor of London or combined authority: Schedule to be inserted in the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004) to this Act.

(3) In section 17 of that Act (local development documents), at the end of subsection (8) insert—

‘(c) is approved by the Mayor of London under paragraph 2 of Schedule A1;

(d) is approved by a combined authority under paragraph 6 of that Schedule.’”—(Mr Marcus Jones.)

This new Clause and NS2 make provision for the Secretary of State to invite the Mayor of London or a combined authority to prepare or revise a development plan document for a local planning authority in their area that is failing to progress the document.

Brought up, read the First and Second time, and added to the Bill.
