HC Deb 22 March 1978 vol 946 c565W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, since Lancashire County Council proposes to extend tipping at Platts Lane, Burscough, Ormskirk, in departure from the approved development plan, if he will call in the application for consideration and decision.

Mr. Guy Barnett

No. Since this appears to be of purely local concern, my right hon. Friend would not normally call in the application for his decision; but if Lancashire County Council refers the application to my right hon. Friend as a substantial departure from the approved development plan, he would then consider whether such action was appropriate in the light of the information submitted to him.
