	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>Highways England entered into a conditional contract with BP for the sale of Tollgate Hotel that was conditional on planning permission being granted for development. The planning applications submitted have been subject to a number of judicial reviews, which have delayed the sale. As a result, Highways England have now agreed with BP to move to an unconditional contract; this means the sale will no longer be dependent on gaining planning permission, and Highways England will now be able to move forward with the sale.</p><p>Given that Highways England will be entering into a new unconditional contract with BP for the sale of the property, they have no plans to remarket it at this time.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 15/04/2019 12:56:28 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
