HC Deb 14 June 1972 vol 838 c317W
74. Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment to what extent the procedures for obtaining planning consent and safeguarding amenity are varied when a Government Department rather than a private person is to do the developing.

Mr. Graham Page

Very little. The arrangements in circular 80/71 for consulting the local planning authorities and dealing with objections follow the statutory procedures very closely.
