§ 68. Mr. Peter M. Jacksonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware that the recent decision to allow building at Calver in the Peak District National Park was an infringement of the board's policy to resist any large-scale new housing development to meet the needs of wealthy commuters; and whether he will issue instructions to his inspectors that there is to be no future infringements of this policy.
§ Mr. MacCollThe Peak Park Planning Board was not opposed to the eventual development of this land; my right hon. Friend merely accelerated the timing. The Board has his full support in restricting development in the National Park to those areas where it can properly be allowed, but planning control is concerned with the use of land rather than with the people who use it.
