Mrs. Spelman: To ask the
Deputy Prime Minister if he will list the locations of each
development on (a) Green Belt land and (b) non-Green Belt
green field land for which he or his predecessors have given
planning permission since 1 May 1997.
Keith Hill: My right hon. Friend the Deputy
Prime Minister or his predecessors have granted planning
permission on 162 sites on Green Belt land between 1 May
1997 and 31 March 2004. A table of the locations of these
sites has been made available in the Libraries of the House.
Information on non-Green Belt green field land is not held
centrally and could be procided only at disproportionate
cost. |
