Letter from: Hugh Robertson MP, Faversham and Mid Kent
Thank you for your letter of 16 February about the proposed changes to the planning guidance. It was kind of you to let me have your views.
I can wholly understand why you are so concerned and I can only say that I agree with you entirely. It is quite wrong that John Prescott should change the planning guidance in this manner and you have my full support.
I am sorry to say that it is entirely typical of his approach to planning in general and Kent in particular. It is yet another assault on our whole quality of life and is totally unacceptable.
In view of the serious nature of the issues you raise, I will write today to Mr Prescott personally. I will let you know as soon as I receive an answer.
On nice House of Commons paper as well
