HC Deb 19 December 1983 vol 51 c28W
Mr. Richard Shepherd

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to make a decision on the appeal by Mr. A. Murrell against the refusal of an established use certificate in respect of land at Jasmin cottage, Castle street, Brownhills, reference APP 5109/D/80/135, following the inquiry of September and October 1981.

Mr. Macfarlane

My right hon. Friend's decision is on the point of being issued to Mr. Murrall's agents. I very much regret the delay in determining this appeal, which is due to the complexity of the matters involved and the need to re-examine certain matters raised in the planning inspector's report of the local inquiry.
