HC Deb 19 October 1999 vol 336 cc519-20W
Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what progress has been made in granting planning permission for Flaxmill; and if he will make a statement. [94123]

Ms Beverley Hughes

The Secretary of State has decided that the applications for planning permission and for listed building consent with regard to Flaxmill should not be referred to him for determination. He has notified Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council of his decision. This is now a matter for the local planning authority.
