The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she has made an assessment of the benefit of including the Garden Trust as a statutory consultee to planning decisions.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The Gardens Trust is currently a statutory consultee on “development likely to affect all registered gardens or parks”. I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement made on 10 March 2025 (HCWS510).
