HC Deb 08 March 1967 vol 742 cc312-3W
Mr. Murray

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if his recent planning decision to allow a petrol filling station on the A2 between Marling Cross and Laughing Waters Restaurant, in the constituency of Gravesend, is in accord with the regulations governing the use of traffic lanes for acceleration and deceleration.

Mr. MacColl

The planning appeal decision referred to included a condition requiring the provision of acceleration and deceleration lanes in accordance with certain specified measurements. These measurements were those which the divisional road engineer of the Ministry of Transport had indicated should be required if the development were to be permitted.
