§ Mr. Spenceasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in view of the number of developments of agricultural buildings close to airfields which at present infringe the height limitations shown on airfield safeguarding maps, he will review the limitations to the height of developments with a view to making them more easily understood, simpler to operate and less expensive to agriculture than at present; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. Giles ShawI do not consider that the present safeguarding restrictions are in need of general revision. There is, however, a case for reviewing the limitations which apply specifically to farm buildings or works near airfields under the terms of the Town and Country Planning General Development Order. This will be done as part of wider consideration of possible changes to the order.
