§ Mr. Edward DaveyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to review the operation of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 and the Town and Country Planning (Demolition-Description of Buildings) Direction 1995; and if he will make a statement. [12706]
§ Mr. RaynsfordThere are no immediate plans for a review of the operation of either the order or the direction. However, we keep under consideration the need for amendments to these documents in the light of representations received on various issues. Any changes which we proposed introducing to either the permitted development order or the demolition direction would be the subject of consultation.
