House of Commons division

Planning and Infrastructure Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 40

Passed244 ayes · 132 noes

What the vote was about

This division was on a motion to disagree with a Lords amendment to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. The amendment would have changed the Bill’s provisions on how planning decisions are made, with implications for housing targets, infrastructure funding and environmental protections. For Cornwall, these rules influence where new homes can be built, how many second homes are allowed, and whether local communities have a say in development – all pressing local issues.

Why this division is tracked here

The Planning and Infrastructure Bill directly affects housing delivery, second homes policy and land-use planning in Cornwall, where affordability and development are major concerns.
