answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2021 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to review the council tax banding of properties in England or carry out a council tax revaluation. A revaluation would be expensive to undertake and could result in increases in bills for many households. This happened following the council tax revaluation in Wales when 33% of all homes there were placed in a higher band compared to 8% of homes that were placed in a lower band.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 22/07/2021 15:06:14 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will review national planning policy to strengthen provisions on the expansion of intensive broiler factories; and if he will make a statement.
tabling member constituency	St Albans
tabling member printed	Daisy Cooper
uin	19703
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2021 answer text <p>The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out a range of policies which seek to ensure that the impacts of all types of development are carefully considered when planning decisions are taken. Intensive broiler factories, exceeding a certain size or capacity, are subject to additional rules, such as environmental impact assessment (EIA) regulations, which inform decision making and take environmental impacts into account when deciding whether to grant planning consent. In addition, environmental permits require farmers with intensive poultry enterprises, of over 40,000 poultry places, to ensure they operate the farm using Best Available Techniques (BAT) to protect people and the environment.</p><p>The ‘Planning for the Future’ White Paper makes clear that we want planning reforms to leave a legacy of environmental improvement. The White Paper received over 40,000 responses and we are in the process of analysing the feedback received. We are also taking forward work to reform the environmental assessment framework as part of that process that will help maximise environmental benefits, recognising the importance of our domestic and international obligations for environmental protection.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 29/06/2021 14:36:20 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
