Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag awdurdodau cynllunio lleol
The problem in terms of the public is, if you have layers of subordinate legislation, it makes it rather difficult to understand 'What are the rules of the game? And how do I get to have my say?' So, Sara, did you want to come in?

The Minister argues that the balance is right between the clarity of what's on the face of the Bill and the flexibility that's being permitted through subordinate legislation. I wondered if you agree with that approach, or whether the balance is right. I…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag academyddion
Okay. Some of the submissions were arguing that Welsh Ministers needed to be the decision maker on every application because there's political accountability—if you don't like what they're saying, you can chuck them out. Others felt that the examining…

But you want to have the cover of the planning Act: 'It is for the Examining Authority to decide how to examine the application.' End of story.

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag academyddion
Okay. No, no, I think we got that.
13 Medi 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag academyddion
I just wondered how you think this—. There's discretion in the Bill to allow the examining authority to decide how the application is going to be dealt with, whether written procedure, a hearing or inquiry. Isn't that sufficient to give the examining…

Thank you. Mr McDonald, you are obviously a fan of the Planning Act 2008. [Laughter.]

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag academyddion
Okay, so, mainly, it's reluctant to bite the bullet and make a decision. Thank you.

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag academyddion
It has been known for Ministers to delay decisions because of an upcoming by-election or something like that, but how much of it is just laziness within the Minister's department, not to do the legwork whilst the inquiry's going on, to familiarise themselves…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag academyddion
Thank you, that's reassuring. The Minister is arguing that the balance is right between what's on the face of the Bill and what's left to subordinate legislation, because it allows flexibility. What's your view of that position? And could you just elaborate…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag academyddion
It's all right, it's fine. I just wanted to pursue another aspect of aligning speedy consent with speedy delivery, which is that, in house building, we have land banking, where people sit on land in order to prevent a competitor getting hold of it. How would…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag academyddion
Hannah, in your paper, you talk about the balance to be struck between the quest for speed of consent and the potential consequences for future delivery, and I wonder if you could just expand on that.

If there are no further comments, if we can note all those papers and move back into private session.

Very good. Yes. That's certainly something we can pick up with the Minister for Social Justice in our interviews next week.

There are now very large numbers of papers to note as a result of the recess. So, 24 items of correspondence to note. Are Members content to note them so that we can pick them up in our work? You wanted to pick up on one issue.
