HC Deb 01 December 1993 vol 233 cc635-6W
Sir David Steel

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will consider extending planning regulations to make it the duty of planning authorities to ensure that service copies of proposed developments which are available to the public exactly match development plans on planning application forms and associated plans.

Mr. Lang

Responsibility for completion of neighbour notices rests with the applicant. It is intended that the description given of the proposed development should be consistent with the information on the planning application form. However, there is no requirement for it to match exactly. If it comes to light that there is a general problem on this matter, I will of course be willing to look into it.
