Written Answers
Planning Permission
Asked by: Allison Gardner (Labour - Stoke-on-Trent South)
Monday 15th September 2025

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle the use of retrospective planning applications to regularise unauthorised development; and whether she plans to close loopholes that may undermine the effectiveness of local planning enforcement.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

Enforcement is at the discretion of local planning authorities. They have a wide range of powers with strong penalties for non-compliance and it is for them to decide how and when they use those powers depending on the circumstances of each case.

The government has no plans to amend local planning authorities’ enforcement powers at this time. We will, however, continue to keep the operation of the enforcement system under review.

With regard to capacity and capability, I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to question UIN 67508 on 14 July 2025.

Life sciences investment
Science, Innovation and Technology Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

With MSD cancelling its £1 billion ongoing manufacturing site in Kings Cross, AstraZeneca pausing its £200 million investment in its Cambridge site, and the latter upgrading its US listing, the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee is launching a call for evidence on UK life sciences competitiveness.

This follows an initial emergency session, where it heard from representatives from MSD and AstraZeneca, as well as the ABPI, and from officials and ministers, including Minister for Science, Research and Innovation, Patrick Vallance. 

The call for written evidence will examine the competitiveness of the UK’s life sciences sector, barriers to innovation for medicines in the UK, issues with pricing uptake and access, and the impact of other countries’ policies.
