Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 June 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill.

I thank the Secretary of State for giving way. Clause 83(2) proposes a new section 38(5C) to the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, which says:

“If to any extent the development plan conflicts with a national development management policy, the conflict must be resolved in favour of the national development management policy.”

That is what it says—it overrides the local plan. It is in the Bill.
