Commons ChamberYes, we will and I will liaise with the hon. Gentleman on the issue.
The Secretary of State has already assured the House that additional permitted development rights for home owners will be restricted in conservation and other sensitive areas. Can he assure me that sensitive areas will include those subject to article 4 directions, and also those where family housing has come under attack from insensitive over-development of houses in multiple occupation?
I think we can do better than that. We are going to be consulting on the matter, and my hon. Friend will get an opportunity to make a contribution.
