Housing and Planning

Mary Glindon Excerpts

Thursday 6th September 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Pickles]

Clearly, the figure changes almost hourly. It would not be unreasonable to use the figure of 400,000 houses, which has been used by the LGA. It is there or thereabouts. These proposals are necessary to unlock that process and to allow good local authorities to deliver growth.

[Mrs Mary Glindon (North Tyneside) (Lab)]

Further to the Secretary of State’s answers on the simplification of and increase in the development rights of householders, will he say exactly what redress and legal rights will be given to neighbours who have an objection and find that good will is not the answer?

[Mr Pickles]

The same as they currently have.
