BILL
to

This bill aims to give local communities greater involvement in planning decisions that affect their area, potentially through referendums where residents can directly vote on major planning applications. It's designed to make the planning process more democratic by giving people more say in what gets built in their localities.

Presented by Martin Vickers.
