to forecast completion dates.
Town and Country Planning Act, 1962.—In exercise of
powers under Section 22 of this Act and of article 12 of the Town
and Country Planning General Development Order, 1963, the
Minister of Housing and Local Government continues the policy
originally laid down in the Town and Country Planning (Housing
Accommodation) Direction, 1952.
Consequent upon the issue of this Direction, the Borough
Council is consulted by the London County Council (the Planning
Authority) before any application for planning permission involving
change of use of premises from use as a dwelling is determined.
Such consultations are designed to prevent any unnecessary
aggravation of the housing situation by the encroachment of
business premises into residential property.
Housing Survey.—Through the courtesy of Mr. F. H. Dore,
the Housing Manager, the following extracts are quoted from his
observations on the housing position in 1963: —
"The year 1963 witnessed continued progress by the Council
in the provision of new housing of all types of dwellings within
the borough.
From the intake of newly completed dwellings and casual
vacancies, it has been possible during the period under review to
house 170 families from the various categories of slum clearance
and redevelopment areas, the housing waiting list, special medical
cases, individual unfit dwellings, and properties involved with
reconstruction works.
