Mr. King

We have been reviewing the efficiency of procedures in the development control system as a whole, bearing in mind the proposals of the Dobry report. We have announced proposals to deal with over lapping functions between districts and counties and to introduce a scheme of charges for planning applications. We shall be announcing further measures as decisions are taken.
