HC Deb 14 November 1968 vol 773 cc124-5W
Mr. Fortescue

asked the Secretary of State for Wales on what grounds his predecessor refused to accept Mr. W. H. Rose's undertaking to the Anglesey County Council that the two small sheds at Caerffynnon, Rhoscefnhir, would not be used as sub-standard residential accommodation.

Mr. George Thomas

The undertaking was not a material factor which could be taken into account in the decisions on the relevant appeals. The appeals were decided strictly on their planning merits, and the reasons were set out in the decision letter dated 29th February, 1968, a copy of which was sent to the hon. Member.

Mr. Fortescue

asked the Secretary of State for Wales why his predecessor upheld the enforcement order of the Anglesey planning authority against Mr. W. H. Rose, of Caerffynnon, Anglesey, in the matter of two small sheds, containing amenities superior to those demanded by the residential caravan licence granted by the Anglesey Council, when the order went beyond the proper function and powers of the authority.

Mr. George Thomas

The enforcement notice was upheld for the reasons set out in the decision letter dated 5th October, 1966, a copy of which has been sent to the hon. Member. The only appeal against the decision would be to the High Court on a point of law under Section 180 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1962, and would need to be made within twenty-eight days of the decision, unless the time was extended by the Court.
