§ Mr. CarringtonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received from residents of the London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham over the proposed development by Chelsea football club at Stamford bridge; and if he will meet the hon. Member for Fulham to discuss the setting up of a planning inquiry.
§ Mr. WaldegraveMy right hon. Friend has received a number of letters from local residents about these proposals, including those forwarded by my hon. Friend the Member for Fulham. After careful consideration of these representations we concluded that calling in the planning applications for a public inquiry would not be justified. I have recently written to my hon. Friend setting out more fully the reasons for this decision.
