View answerThe Planning Review Report I published, on 12 June 2012, contained 12 actions which entail legislative change and consolidation, revised guidelines and improved management systems in planning authorities. I committed to having the Report assessed by an independent planning expert and, following my approval, Mr. Hendrik van der Kamp was appointed on 18 October 2012 to undertake an independent evaluation. I recently received the Independent Evaluation Report and I will publish it as soon as possible, following my consideration of its content.
