Planning Permission
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether her Department plans to increase the delegation rate for planning applications.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The Planning and Infrastructure Bill includes a regulation-making power to issue statutory guidance on a national scheme of delegation.
The government intend to formally consult on proposals relating to the delegation of planning decisions in England alongside the Bill’s passage.
