HC Deb 22 December 1981 vol 15 cc363-4W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what amendments he required of the Gwynedd county council to make to its county structure plan before it was ratified by the Welsh Office at the time of its original submission; and what changes have been made to it subsequently.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

The Gwynedd structure plan comprises three separate plans—one for each of the former counties of Anglesey and Caernarvonshire, and one for the remaining area of the present county of Gwynedd, that is Meirionydd and Duffryn Conwy.

In approving the plans on 29 July 1977 my predecessor made 110 modifications. I shall send the hon. Member lists of these, together with the notices of approval. No alterations have been nade to the approved plans.

However, the transportation policies and general proposals in the plans were reserved and the county council were subsequently directed to prepare revised versions for approval. These I now understand will be incorporated in a single replacement plan which the council are preparing.
