A Bill to provide that communities may appeal against planning decisions on collection of the signatures of a required percentage of the electorate in the relevant ward within a designated time period; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons
26 April 2013
Planning Applications (Community Right of Appeal) Bill would give communities a right to appeal planning decisions if a petition signed by a designated percentage of ward electors is collected within a set time. If the threshold is met, the appeal would proceed under rules set out in the bill. The aim is to boost local input into planning, with clear procedures for how appeals are made and handled.
The bill is at its second reading in the House of Commons, where its general principles are debated. If it progresses, it would move next to committee stage for detailed scrutiny.
