HC Deb 02 July 1975 vol 894 c488W
Mr. Mayhew

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will introduce legislation requiring prior notice to be given to the local planning authority of the intention of the owner of a parcel of land to offer the same for sale to the public in small plots.

Mr. John Silkin

No. The control exercised by local planning authorities is unaffected by changes in ownership of the land.
