§ 64. Mr. Crouchasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to require local planning authorities to advertise development proposals and to notify owners of land involved in all circumstances, and not to leave it to local authorities to decide whether such notification is necessary or not.
§ Mr. Graham PageI agree that there is scope for extending the requirements for publicity: but a universal requirement to advertise and notify would be too sweeping and I think it desirable to leave a large measure of discretion with local authorities.
