A Bill to establish independent local planning processes to determine housing development planning applications submitted by local authorities; and for connected purposes.
The Planning (Local Authority Housing Developments) Bill would create independent local planning processes for housing schemes that are proposed by local councils. If enacted, decisions on council-initiated housing proposals would be made through an independent process rather than the council’s own planning committee, with the aim of making those decisions more objective and transparent.
The bill is at its 1st Reading in the Commons; it has been introduced and has not yet progressed to Committee or Second Reading.
