§ 15. Mr. Norman Bowerasked the Minister of Town and Country Planning if he is aware that both the Middlesex County Council and the Harrow Urban District Council have unanimously protested against permission being granted for the erection of an advertisement hoarding at the corner of Bridge Street and Chapel Lane, Pinner, on the grounds that it constitutes both an eyesore and a danger to traffic; why he has overruled their objections; and if he will now reconsider his decision.
§ Mr. DaltonI have received no official protest from either of the local authorities about this, but it is always open to them to submit for my confirmation a draft order requiring a discontinuance of the use of the site for advertising. I would consider such an order in the light of any fresh evidence they can produce.
