The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will consider mandating the allocation of sites for HGV parking as part of the conditions for consent for larger infrastructure projects.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The government takes the view that it is for the relevant Secretary of State to decide, on a case-by-case basis, whether conditions relating to HGV traffic movement or the provision of HGV parking should be attached when granting development consent for nationally significant infrastructure projects.
