§ Mr. Hoosonasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will consider issuing separate directives to planning authorities in Wales on the values to be adopted in deciding whether or not to approve of sporadic dwellings in view of the particular and distinctive history and pattern of development in Wales over the centuries.
§ Mr. Barry JonesNo. General advice on development in rural areas was published in Development Control Policy Note No. 4 issued by the Welsh Office and the then Ministry of Housing and Local Government in 1969. It will be for the county planning authorities, in the light of that advice but having regard also to the particular needs and characteristics of their respective areas, to consider what future policies they should include in the structure plans which they are now preparing for my approval.
