Housing: Construction
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will make an assessment of the potential public safety considerations of detailed internal residential plans remaining publicly accessible online after development has been completed.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
Plans and drawings of proposed residential development, including any plans for internal arrangements, submitted with a planning application must be maintained and published by local planning authorities on their planning registers.
Local planning authorities should not publish information on their register which they consider to be ‘sensitive’, including information relating to the physical security of a property.
