§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales, if he will meet residents of Liverpool road, Buckley, Clwyd, to discuss his planning policies as they affect applications to build new housing estates where there is only one access road; and if he will make a statement. [4022]
§ Mr. HagueNo. The determination of applications for planning permission is in the first place the responsibility of the local planning authority concerned. The local planning authority will need to have regard to, among other things, the series of planning policy guidance—PPG—notes, including PPG13, "Highways Considerations in Development Control", which incorporates guidance on access.
