Housing and Planning Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 4 May 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Housing and Planning Bill.

I intend the following as a purely positive question because I have not read anything about this. However, I noted something the noble Baroness said when she moved the amendment. It is a technical question. Is this a precedent for third party rights of appeal? I am not clear whether third party rights of appeal in planning exist. I seductively proposed them when I was a Minister but subsequently had to oppose them at the Dispatch Box because I was yet to be convinced about them. In other words, is this a thin end of the wedge for third party rights of appeal or do

they already exist in other parts of the planning system? It is a perfectly reasonable question; I am just looking for the information.
