Angela Rayner has stepped in and will be making the final decision on a controversial planning application for the area.
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has intervened in controversial plans for a village and will make the final decision.
An appeal was lodged with the planning inspectorate at the end of June and a planning inspector was initially set to decide on it after a six-day process starting October 8.It has now been confirmed that the decision will be going straight to Ms Rayner, the secretary of state for housing, communities, and local government, as she has ‘recovered’ the proposal and one other data centre plan.
Labour's manifesto directly mentioned data centres, stating that the government will ensure its industrial strategy “removes planning barriers to data centres”. Three Rivers’ planning committee gave three reasons for refusal. Perhaps the most important was the site falling within green belt without being judged to meet the “very special circumstances” required to develop there.
