Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, with reference to section 9.10 of Fixing the foundations: creating a more prosperous nation, published on 10 July 2015, Cm 9098, what steps he plans to take to ensure that there is adequate consultation with local people when imposing local plans on behalf of local authorities.
Our Ministerial Statement of 21 July, HCWS172, sets out our commitment to accelerate Local Plan production. We are clear that any intervention will not compromise effective comunity engagement.
