§ Mr. TylerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment at what date the guidance in the revised planning policy guidance note 13 came into effect; and what influences it is expected to have on planning inspectors sitting on appeals at that time.
§ Mr. Baldry[holding answer 3 May 1994]: The revision of planning policy guidance note 13 was published on 15 March 1994. It is capable of being a material consideration in any planning decision taken after that date—whether by a local planning authority, the Secretary of State or a planning inspector appointed to take a decision on his behalf.
