House of Commons division

Planning and Infrastructure Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 1

Passed254 ayes · 135 noes

What the vote was about

This vote concerned whether the Planning and Infrastructure Bill should include a statutory requirement for planning to contribute to sustainable development, including meeting housing need. At stake was how future planning decisions would balance development with environmental and community protections—a question central to Cornwall's housing crisis and second homes debate.

Why this division is tracked here

Housing and second homes are key Cornwall concerns; Amendment 1 relates to the statutory purpose of planning.
