Sir John Biggs-Davison
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make it his policy to support the efforts of Epping Forest district council in any planning appeal to protect the green belt against encroachment made on land at Chigwell owned by a developer, and occupied by caravans and squatters.
Mr. Waldegrave
If an appeal is lodged in respect of the Chigwell site it will be determined on its merits, with regard to all material considerations, including the Government's commitment to protect the green belts from inappropriate development.
