Housing and Planning (Local Decision-Making) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill aims to give local councils more power to make decisions about housing development and planning in their areas without as much interference from the national government. It's about shifting decisionmaking responsibility from Westminster to local communities, so they have more say in how their neighbourhoods change and develop.

Presented by John Mann.
