§ Mr. David MartinTo 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. MoynihanNo. 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.
