As the House of Commons returns this week after Conference recess, the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill will be high on the agenda. This is a comprehensive piece of legislation that has been long in the making to reduce geographical disparities in the UK.
The Bill sets out provisions relating to a range of issues, from local democracy and regeneration to planning and the environment, plus many other matters that affect our lives, not only in Yorkshire and the North, but also across the whole country.
The suggested amendment states that a public body exercising or performing any functions in relation to, or so as to affect, land in any National Park 'must seek to further' the purposes of National Parks. At present, such public bodies are only required to 'have regard to' the purposes of National Parks.
