HC Deb 08 May 1990 vol 172 c101W
Mr. David Martin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has any plans further to encourage or make compulsory the use by local planning authorities of advance neighbourhood notification schemes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moynihan

No. The Department's advice to local planning authorities on publicity for planning applications is set out in appendix B to circular 22/88, and I have no evidence that those arrangements are not generally working satisfactorily.
