Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when her Department plans to make a decision on the planning application for a solar facility at the University of Surrey.

The application in question is currently being considered by Guildford Borough Council.

Following requests to call in the application, a holding Direction restricting the grant of permission was issued by MHCLG, to allow those requests to be considered.

A decision on whether to call in the application will be made in due course.

The Hon Member should note that the issuing of a holding Direction should not be taken as an indication as to whether an application will be called in or not.
