Mr. Loveridge

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has considered the effect on the environment, with particular reference to noise at night, of development of the land that lies between the Harold Wood Hospital and the Colchester Road at Gallows Corner in Hornchurch.

It is the function of the local planning authority to consider the effect on the environment of a particular development proposal when deciding a planning application.
