Planning Permission
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether national security is a material planning consideration.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
Paragraph 102 of the National Planning Policy Framework sets out how planning policies and decisions should promote public safety and take into account wider security and defence requirements. Each case is considered on their own merits.
