§ Sir Paul BeresfordMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment called in the application so that he could consider the issues it raises. Among the matters appearing likely to be relevant to his consideration are the effects of the development on the vitality and viability of the nearby Nags Head centre, the effects of the development on the character and amenities of the area, the likely effects of the development on the traffic movements on the nearby road network and the loss of land for industrial development.
