HC Deb 22 February 1989 vol 147 c695W
97. Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on progress by Westminster council in implementing the Covent Garden action area plan.

Mr. Chope

This is a matter for Westminster which has received a report from its consultants who were asked to undertake a review of changes since the adoption of the Covent Garden action area plan in 1978. I am told that Westminster has published draft interim policies for consultation. The public may take this opportunity to make their views known as the policies may have some weight in development control.

Mr. Soley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list those departures to the Covent Garden action area plan made by Westminster city council which have come to him on appeal since 31 March 1986.

Mr. Chope

No departures from the Covent Garden action area plan have been referred to the Secretary of State since 31 March 1986.
