HC Deb 13 January 1999 vol 323 c215W
Liz Blackman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what progress has been made in his revision of the current Planning Guidance Note for Sport and Recreation (PPG17). [65431]

Mr. Raynsford

In September last year, the Department published a research report entitledThe Effectiveness of Planning Policy Guidance on Sport and Recreation which made recommendations about possible revisions that might be made to PPG 17. A number of regional seminars have sequently been held to take views on the recommendations set out in the report. A draft revised PPG will be issued for consultation later this year.
