HC Deb 28 March 1972 vol 834 c53W
Mr. Wallace

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, after nine months delay, he will now give to Norwich City Council his decision on the Bowthorpe Development Scheme involving the building of 4,000 houses and the housing of 10,000 people.

Mr. Graham Page

My right hon. Friend's decision upon this appeal, which arose upon the absence of a decision by the local planning authority involved some difficult legal issues and interdepartmental consultations.
