Manufacturing Industries: Planning Permission
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will take steps to simplify planning consent processes for (a) food and drink production facilities and (b) other manufacturing sites.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The National Planning Policy Framework already makes clear that planning policies and decisions should recognise and address the specific locational requirements of different sectors.
The government intend to consult this year on a new suite of national policies for decision making.
