Its aim is to protect access to local services by giving councils greater control over what happens to these sites, with related provisions described as “connected purposes.”
The bill is currently at the 2nd Reading in the House of Commons, where MPs are debating its general principles. If it passes this stage, it would move on to more detailed examination, such as committee stage.
