HC Deb 12 May 1981 vol 4 cc263-4W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will consider regarding rose breeding as a non-agricultural use of land when applying planning guidelines.

Mr. Giles Shaw

For the purpose of planning legislation, horticulture is classed as an agricultural use of land and is not development requiring planning permission. I have no plans to seek a change in this provision.
