Somerset Development Plan

HC Deb 18 March 1957 vol 567 c25W

Mr. Peyton

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will make a statement on the development plan for Somerset.

Mr. H. Brooke

I shall be ready to approve the plan as soon as the maps have been revised to give effect to modifications which I intend to make.

Mr. Peyton

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will make a statement on the proposal contained in the development plan for Somerset to make a ring road in Yeovil.

Mr. H. Brooke

As many of the problems covered by the Somerset Development Plan, including the Yeovil Inner Ring Road, are inter-related, I think it would be better to give my decision on the plan as a whole, as soon as I am in a position to do so, than to make any separate announcement about this proposal.
