	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2018 answer text <p>The question [116503] was answered on 15 January 2018 with the answer:</p><p>We are standing up for England’s churches. National planning policy already sets out that businesses should not have unreasonable restrictions put on them because of changes in nearby land uses since they were established.</p><p>We are minded to amend the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) to give greater emphasis to this matter, by setting out that planning policies and decisions should take account of existing businesses and other organisations, such as churches, community pubs and music venues, when locating new development nearby.</p><p>We consulted on proposals for this as part of the Housing White Paper published on 7 February 2017 and we intend to publish a revised draft NPPF for consultation as early as possible in 2018. At that stage we will host a round-table with representatives from the sector to invite their input into this important matter.</p><p>We continue to work with other departments, to ensure local authorities support existing businesses, organisations or activities that are an integral part of local communities, at the same time as supporting new housing and local growth.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 15/01/2018 17:42:48 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab

However, noise nuisance complaints in existing developments are not handled through the planning system. They are subject to the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and other relevant law.</p><p>We are committed to working across government to further strengthen the ‘agent of change’ principle in policy and guidance.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab grouped question UIN 124834 question first answered 05/02/2018 14:35:11 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab previous answer version 37785 answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
