Lord Patten

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What grounds raised by those who oppose planning applications may be admitted by public inquiries into such applications. [HL1248]

Lord Whitty

Parties opposing a planning application may raise any relevant issues. If they wish to appear at inquiry they will be heard by the Inspector provided that they have something relevant to say which has not already been said.
