§ Ms Beverley HughesMy Department consulted on PPG3 last year and received 620 responses, of which the majority were supportive. Final PPG3 was published in March of this year. The Government Office for the South East led the consultation on draft RPG9 this year and have received 922 responses, all of which are being considered very carefully irrespective of the form in which they were made.
