answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Local authorities across England must have regard to the National Planning Policy Framework. This asks local authorities to assess the needs of the food production industry and resolve any associated planning barriers, but also to recognise the character and beauty of the countryside and prevent unacceptable levels of pollution. Local authorities have to assess each proposal on its facts and merits in the light of the Local Plan, of national planning policies, and all other material considerations, including the views expressed by local people. They can also assess the cumulative impact of numbers of such premises on the area.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 01/09/2014 14:19:35 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
