Housing: Construction

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the recovered appeal decision made by HM Planning Inspectorate with reference 3346061 on her definition of the greybelt.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The decision in question was made 12 May 2025 and the proposals were considered taking into account current planning policy, which includes Green Belt policy and published guidance.

Full reasons for the decision are set out in the published decision letter and Inspector’s Report.

Having issued this decision, the Secretary of State has no further jurisdiction in the matter, and it would not be appropriate to comment further.
