HC Deb 28 March 1990 vol 170 cc203-4W
Mr. Colvin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he is next going to issue new regional planning guidance for the period up to the year 2006.

Mr. Moynihan

The current regional planning guidance for the south-east region is contained in planning policy guidance note PPG9. SERPLAN (the London and south-east regional planning conference) is conducting a regional review, and hopes to submit advice to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment after its July 1990 conference. After considering that advice, my right hon. Friend will issue a draft for consultation, before finalising his new regional planning guidance. This will probably occur during 1991.
