House of Commons
12 November 2009
Under this bill, local planning authorities would have to approve planning permission before demolishing or changing the use of any building or land that has been used, or most recently used, to provide a local service. The aim is to protect access to local services by giving councils greater control over changes that could remove or repurpose such facilities. It also includes connected provisions to support implementation.
