The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local
Government (MHCLG) initially indicated that the government wanted
to create a national scheme of delegation for Planning Committee
when it published the draft National Planning Policy Framework in
July 2024. On 9 December, MHCLG published an undated working paper
setting out some proposed options. The document seeks views on a
number of questions but does not set out a formal consultation or
consultation period. To date, Chief Planning Officers have not been
sent a copy of this, so it is not entirely clear who is being asked
to respond to the questions posed.
