HC Deb 28 October 1998 vol 318 c165W
Mr. Martlew

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions after what period of time he takes action to obtain essential information which he has judged to be missing from planning applications which he has called in for determination. [56438]

Mr. Raynsford

This will depend on the individual circumstances of each application. Action is normally taken as soon as it becomes apparent that the relevant information is required in support of an application.

Mr. Martlew

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions when he expects to reach a decision on the planning application made by Michael Knighton and Carlisle AFC for a mixed leisure and recreational development, which was called in on 8 January 1997. [56439]

Mr. Raynsford

The application in question has been withdrawn and so is no longer before the Secretary of State for determination.
