§ Sir Geoffrey Finsbergasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many refusals of planning permission have been reversed on appeal to him in each London borough during the last period of 12 months for which figures are available.
§ Mr. TraceyThe number of planning appeals allowed for the London boroughs during the period April 1985 to March 1986 is as follows:
Boroughs Appeals allowed City of London 0 Barking and Dagenham 4 Barnet 32 Bexley 10 Brent 23
Station Aerosols Sulphur 35 Iodine 13 Argon 41 (1) (2) Berkeley 4 5 — — — Bradwell 9 37 — — — Hinkley Point A 16 30 4,806 — 3.0E8 Hinkley Point B 42 2,849 38 1.5E7 Trawsfyndd 28 41 — — — Dungeness A 27 40 — — — Dungeness B <40 <5,400 22 2.8E6 Sizewell 73 447 1,100 — 1.1E8 Oldbury 14 — — — Wylfa 8 — — — Hartlepool <3 <588 71 1.5E6 Heysham <4 1,307 228 1.8E5 Some of these figures are enhanced due to the detection of fallout from the Chernobyl accident. This reached a maximum on 2 and 3 May and affects the figures for aerosols for those stations with shield cooling air systems. Column 1 under aerosols excludes the measurements for 3 May and column 2 gives the measurements for 3 May.
It will take a further two to three weeks to obtain the figures for the facilities run by British Nuclear Fuels plc and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. I shall then write to the hon. Member.
