answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/08/2021 answer text <p>As part of the plan-making process, local land constraints such as the green belt, sites of special scientific interest and national parks are considered in determining housing targets. All local plans are then subject to an independent examination to determine whether the plan is sound, legally compliant and aligns with national policy. As part of the examination the Inspector will determine whether the plan sets out an appropriate strategy for the area, based on proportionate evidence and whether the strategy is deliverable.</p> answering member printed Lord Greenhalgh question first answered 31/08/2021 09:38:17 answering member 4877 label Biography information for Lord Greenhalgh

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
