	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2020 answer text <p>To date, Government has issued no guidance to local planning authorities about consideration of planning applications during the pre-election period. <br> <br>Within my Department, caution is exercised during both general and local election periods, with no substantive decisions issued. During these periods, where I receive a request to intervene in a case, or a case is referred to me by an authority, I am able to delay a grant of planning permission while I consider whether or not to call-in an application, by means of a holding direction issued under section 31 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015.</p><p>Local authorities should exercise good judgement about whether it is appropriate to determine cases of local or national significance or controversy during a pre-election period of sensitivity. I intend to work with the Local Government Association to ensure they provide suitable guidance to councils to this effect.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 13/01/2020 17:46:01 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
