HL Deb 09 March 1999 vol 598 cc19-20WA
Lord Marlesford

asked Her Majesty's Government:

On which date they expect Braintree District Council to review the suitability of the hoardings which stand on its land bordering the A. 12 trunk road on the Witham bypass: and what steps they intend to take to ensure that Braintree District Council follows the advice in Planning Policy Guidance Note 19. [HL1315]

Lord Whitty

The timing and scope of any review of the suitability of the advertisement hoardings is entirely a matter for Braintree District Council. We would expect such a review to take account of all material considerations, including the advice in Planning Policy Guidance Note 19.
