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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what consideration his Department has given to allowing interested third parties to seek a review of administrative planning conditions.

Conditions on planning applications can be challenged by the applicant through appeal, but not by a third party.

Third parties can make representations on planning applications during the consultation stage and through engagement with the local planning authority.

In making a decision on a planning application, the local planning authority must have considered all the representations made and must take into account those views.
