Mr. Letwin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to introduce time limits upon the validity of planning permission. [2296]

Paragraphs 53 to 60 of DoE Circular 11/95 (Welsh Office Circular 35/95) give comprehensive guidance on this issue. I have no plans to change legislation in this area.
