HC Deb 15 January 2003 vol 397 c667W
Mr. Luff

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what recent planning policy guidance he has issued on light pollution. [90388]

Mr. McNulty

A specific Planning Policy Guidance Note on light pollution has not been issued. However, in 1997, the Government issued "Lighting in the Countryside: Towards Good Practice". This document gives advice on the adverse effects of lighting schemes associated with development, both in the countryside and in the urban context.
