Launderettes And Removal Of Planning Protections

EDM number 1328 in 2015-16, proposed by Ruth Cadbury on 24/03/2016.
Categorised under the topic of Service industries.

That this House notes that launderettes continue to be a vital part of our communities as well as being an important safety net for many people, especially those on low-incomes or living in privately-rented housing; regrets the Government's decision to remove planning protections that currently prevent launderettes from being changed to other types of shop or housing without the owners obtaining planning permission; and calls on the Government to remove launderettes from the scope of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) (Amendment) Order 2016.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
