HC Deb 06 December 1972 vol 847 c430W
Mr. Concannon

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek powers to make the construction of swimming pools in the gardens of private houses a matter for which planning permission is required, in order to protect the amenities and welfare of the immediate neighbours.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

No; but the new General Development Order which we intend to lay before the House shortly will include some changes in the permissions granted for development within the curtilage of a dwelling-house.
