Housing and Planning Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 20 April 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Housing and Planning Bill.

I know that we are going to come back to this next week but, before the noble Baroness sits down, can she confirm that, when we have all these reviews, she does not envisage a situation where we end up with the local authority being able to charge one set of fees for a planning application, while a lot more could be paid to another provider who could also do it but at a more expensive cost? I think that it would be totally wrong to allow there to be two levels of fees—you could have the council charging a fee but allow some other provider to do the same job for a larger fee.
