Consider repeal of section 150 of the Planning Act
Consider repeal of section 150
MHCLG should implement a 'one stop shop' for permits, potentially through repeal of section 150 of the Planning Act 2008, or alternatively remove all of the consents caught by that provision using secondary legislation.
Government Response: Section 150 not repealed but operational improvements explored
The Government has considered the case for repealing section 150 of the Planning Act 2008 and discussed it with the Taskforce. Rather than repeal, it sees potential for increased incorporation of secondary consents into DCOs. It is exploring operational improvements through revised guidance to achieve the same "one stop shop" objective. While not the legislative approach the Taskforce recommended, the Government is actively seeking to reduce the fragmentation of consent requirements through practical means.
