HC Deb 21 June 1955 vol 542 cc53-4W
68. Air Commodore Harvey

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what restrictions have been put by Her Majesty's Government on building in the vicinity of the Jodrell Bank Research Station, near Congleton.

Mr. Sandys

The Cheshire County Council has before it an application to erect a factory which has been objected to by the Jodrell Bank Research Station. In view of the issues of national policy involved, the county council has asked me to call in this case under Section 15 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, for decision by the Government. I have agreed to do so and am arranging for the necessary public inquiry to be held as soon as possible.
