HC Deb 26 July 1978 vol 954 cc761-2W
62. Mr. John Hunt

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what consultations took place before he reached his decision to allow the appeal by Seismograph Limited against Bromley Council's refusal of planning permission for the erection of a large industrial building on green belt land at "Holwood", Keston.

Mr. Guy Barnett

There are never any consultations about planning appeals after inquiry without a reference back to the parties in accordance with the inquiries procedure rules. The appeal by Seismo- graph Limited followed the normal procedure; the decision was reached on the information contained in the inspector's report and took into account the representations of interested parties referred to in it.
