§ Mr. RedwoodTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment why he turned down a planning application 731W at Dartford to develop 1,000 acres for houses, jobs and leisure; and what representations were received from the local community.
§ Mr. WaldegraveMy right hon. Friend refused planning permission for this development for the reasons contained in the decision letter dated 24 May. I am today sending my hon. Friend a copy of that letter together with a copy of the inspector's report. The report summarises the representations received both in favour of and in opposition to the proposals.
