(2) if he has approved the Greater London council's proposal to close the south-east access to Addington square, SE5.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyThe Greater London council applied for an order under section 209 Town and Country Planning Act 1971 to authorise it to stop up a length of Addington square.

The Secretary of State's decision on the council's application will be announced shortly.
