Management Scoping Study of Potential Health Effects
of Fortnightly Residual Waste Collection and Related

Dan Norris: The Government are currently assessing
the case for introducing further restrictions on sending

This assessment will be informed by two pieces of
research on landfill bans, one ongoing and one recently
published. A full public consultation will take place in
the next few months.

receptacle and recycling boxes at the end of their life.
[294868]

on the disposal of waste receptacle and recycling boxes
at the end of their life.
Exmoor National Park
Mr. Liddell-Grainger: To ask the Secretary of State
for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (1) how
many pre-planning applications were received per
parish in the Exmoor National Park in the last three
years; [295264]
(2) how many pre-planning applications were
submitted to the committee of the Exmoor National
Park in each year since 2005-06; [295265]
(3) how many pre-planning applications submitted
to the committee of the Exmoor National Park were
subject to delegated powers in the last three years for
which figures are available; [295266]
(4) how many of the pre-planning applications
submitted to the committee of the Exmoor National
Park resulted in full planning submissions in the last
three years; [295267]
(5) how many pre-planning applications submitted
to the Committee of the Exmoor National Park in the
last three years involved a visit by a planning officer;
[295268]
(6) how many pre-planning applications submitted
to the committee of the Exmoor National Park in the
last three years were contested. [295269]
Huw Irranca-Davies: The Town and Country Planning
Act provisions do not include a category of ’pre-planning
application’ and therefore it is not clear exactly what
information is required. My Department has made
Exmoor National Park Authority aware of the above
questions and it would be happy to provide further
information if the hon. Member for Bridgwater would
contact it directly with clarification.
