A government consultation on ‘Planning powers for mayors in England’ seeks to gather views on implementation of planning powers for mayors of strategic authorities.
Government UK writes:
This consultation seeks views on the implementation of provisions in the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act 2026 for:
- mayoral powers in relation to planning applications of potential strategic importance, principally for mayors outside London but includes further changes to the approach in London;
- Mayoral Development Orders
- Mayoral Community Infrastructure Levy for mayors outside London
Separately, it also seeks views on changes to the secondary legislation for Local Development Orders (part 4).
