§ Mr. EvansTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions when the new PPG3 will be fully operational. [91412]
§ Mr. RaynsfordOver 600 responses have been received to the consultation draft of Planning Policy Guidance note 3 on Housing, which are now being analysed. I expect to issue the final version after the recess. In the meantime, the draft PPG3 can be cited as a material consideration in determining planning applications although it will have full effect only when the final version has been published.
