Report of the Remembrancer.

The Committee received a report of the Remembrancer advising of the provisions of the Government’s Neighbourhood Planning Bill, recently introduced to Parliament. The Bill would prevent the use of pre-commencement planning conditions without the agreement of the applicant, and empower the Secretary of State to impose further restrictions on the use of planning conditions through regulations. It also made changes to the neighbourhood planning regime and the compulsory purchase system.

RESOLVED – That the report and provisions of the Bill be noted.
