Places of Change Programme

Volume 479: debated on Monday 21 July 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many capital grants her Department has awarded under the Places of Change programme and subsequently rescinded following local opposition. (220369)

No grants from the Places of Change programme have been rescinded following local opposition since the programme commenced in April 2008. Such decisions would be taken on a case-by-case basis.

Places of Change programme projects are subject to the planning process, which involves formal consultation with the community, when any local opposition can be taken into account.
