Lord Lucasasked Her Majesty's Government:
When they expect to announce a decision on the application to build a new town at Micheldever Station, Hampshire.
§ Baroness HaymanI understand that there is no current planning application for major new development at Micheldever Station. The option of making provision in the Hampshire Structure Plan (Review) for a new settlement at this location is referred to in the report made to the county council by the panel appointed to consider representations on the deposited plan and to conduct an examination in public into selected matters. It is for the county council, jointly with the two unitary authorities of Portsmouth and Southampton, to decide how to respond to the panel's recommendations.
