HC Deb 27 February 1986 vol 92 c665W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many special development orders have been granted in the five years to January; and how many of these were given in respect of public limited companies.

Mr. Tracey

Since January 1981, eight special development orders have been made in England. Unless a planning permission provides otherwise, it runs with the land. None of the permissions granted by these orders is confined to specified public limited companies.
