Mr. Chope

Copies of the draft guidance were sent to London Members, the London borough councils and some 180 organisations with an interest in London wide planning matters. The Department has publicised the consultation and to date has sent more than 350 copies of the draft guidance to members of the public, voluntary and community groups, businesses and others on request. A list of those commenting on the guidance will be placed in the House of Commons Library when consultation is completed.
