asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he has any plans to introduce legislation to provide a right of appeal for objectors to planning applications; and if he will make a statement;(2) if he has any plans to introduce legislation to provide objectors with the right to seek a review of planning applications after they have been approved by local authorities; and if he will make a statement.

My right hon. Friend has no such plans. Development control procedures already provide adequate opportunity for considering objections to development proposals.
