answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/09/2015 answer text <p>Local Plans play a critical role in determining what development is appropriate and where, and it is therefore essential that plan-making is as simple, quick and accessible a process as possible. On 15 September, my hon. Friend, the Minister for Housing and Planning (Brandon Lewis), announced that we have brought together a panel of experts drawn from across the built-environment sector to help look at ways in which we could radically improve plan-making in practice (see attached). The group will consider all elements of plan-making from policy and procedural requirements of plans to how plan-making is practically undertaken. Their work will conclude in early 2016, after which I will set out to Parliament how we intend to proceed to reform plan-making.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 24/09/2015 13:54:34 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford attachment 1 file name Planning Minister Brandon Lewis - HL2220.docx title Press Release - 15 September
