HC Deb 18 November 1969 vol 791 c245W
102. Sir Eric Fletcher

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether, in view of the undesirability of building an oil distribution depot in a crowded residential area, he will use his powers to prevent the proposed development by Shell Mex and B.P. on railway land at Monney Road, Islington.

Mr. Skeffington

My right hon. Friend cannot act in this matter unless the local planning authority, Islington London Borough Council, asks him to confirm a direction which would bring this proposal under normal planning control. The council has made no such request.
