Planning and Infrastructure Bill
Lawyers at Town Legal produced a summary of changes in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill (PAIB). Civic Voice commented on the Bill with concern about changes to local authorities’ planning committees.
London Forum draws attention, as here, to some of the amendments proposed for the Commons Committee Stage of the Bill and will report progress of that committee on its meetings from 29th April 2025. It has to complete its work by 22nd May 2025.
