§ Mr. OppenheimTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what guidance he has issued regarding the status of land originally donated for charitable purposes when applications are made for change of use.
§ Mr. WaldegraveNo guidance is necessary. The planning system determines whether proposed changes in the use of land are acceptable in the public interest. Planning permission granted under the Town and Country Planning Act does not override restrictions on the use of land imposed under other legislation or by other means.
