Amend the Planning Act 2008 to require 'minded to' letters

Require 'minded to' letters

Full Recommendation Text

MHCLG should legislate, in the event of a delay, a requirement for the Secretary of State to issue a "minded to" letter which sets out the statement of reasons, outlining matters which have been determined, and those areas where the Secretary of State requires further information.

Delays should be exceptional, and where a delay is sought, the relevant Secretary of State should seek the Prime Minister's approval to any such delay.
