§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make it his policy to cancel interim development orders with minimal compensation, where such orders conflict with acknowledged interests of environmental importance.
§ Mr. RedwoodThe Planning and Compensation Act 1991 enables interim development order permissions to be updated by the imposition of modern environmental conditions which do not attract compensation provided they are consistent with the guidance in minerals planning guidance note 9. We have no plans for further measures to amend compensation provisions.
