HC Deb 12 January 1971 vol 809 c23W
Mr. Moyle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has received for the re-zoning of land within the Lewisham Clock Tower Comprehensive Development Area (No. 7); and whether he will withhold a decision on these proposals until he has received the report of the Greater London Development Plan Inquiry.

Mr. Graham Page

The Greater London Council have submitted a proposed amendment to the Initial Development Plan for the re-zoning of some 12 acres within the Lewisham Clock Tower Comprehensive Development Area. They propose that the land, most of which is at present allocated for commerce and light industry, should be re-allocated mainly for use as shops, offices and car-parks.

My right hon. Friend does not feel justified in holding up consideration of this amendment until after the Greater London Development Plan Inquiry.
