HC Deb 16 May 1990 vol 172 cc472-3W
Mr. Nicholas Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give the number of planning appeals made to the Welsh Office against decisions made by each Welsh local authority in 1987, 1988 and 1989 together with the number of appeals upheld in each year against each authority.

Mr. David Hunt

The information is not available in the form requested. Records of planning appeals are held for each district in which they occur but not for the planning authority to whose decisions they relate. Since 1989 records have also been kept of appeals within national parks. The information available is:
