answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2022 answer text <p>Planning guidance is just one of the ways that we seek to manage light pollution impacts and most types of lighting will fall outside of the control of the planning system. Local planning authorities must take the National Planning Policy Framework into account when preparing their plans; and its policies - including those on light pollution - also need to be taken into account in making individual planning decisions.</p><p>We have given local planning authorities a wide range of enforcement powers, with strong penalties for non-compliance, to deal with development which has not been carried out in accordance with the planning permission granted. It is for authorities to decide when and how they use those powers depending on the circumstances of each case.</p><p>Beyond the limits of planning guidance, the statutory nuisance regime provides individuals with recourse to their local authority where artificial light constitutes a nuisance.</p><p>DEFRA coordinates policy relating to light pollution across Government and undertook a review of light pollution policy in January 2014, titled <em>Artificial light in the environment: policy update</em>.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 21/07/2022 15:58:32 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
