This point arose quite often in our earlier session today. It relates to the need for a more formalised legislative basis for consultation and engagement during the production of regulations, national planning frameworks or policy statements. Amendment No. 63 seeks to ensure that relevant prescribed bodies are consulted on all proposed regulations under this section on exempted developments. I suspect the Minister will not support it, but I would be interested in his response nonetheless.
