§ Mr. William RodgersThe schemes and orders for Codham Hall interchange and minor side road alterations have been made and were published on 2nd June 1977.
I am not proceeding with the compulsory purchase order published in draft in March 1976 because is has been established that the consent obtained by the Department under the Green Belt (London and Home Counties) Act 1938 did not cover fully the green belt land included in the compulsory purchase order. The appropriate consent by the Secretary of State for the Environment under the 1938 Act is being applied for, and if 630W obtained a further draft compulsory purchase order will be published.
