HC Deb 16 March 1990 vol 169 c394W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether it remains his policy that it would not, in general, be acceptable for one area of a site of special scientific interest to be traded off in exchange for the protection of the rest; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moynihan

Planning authorities are advised to consider each case on its merits in accordance with the guidance in departmental circulars and policy guidance notes.
