Several other schemes are envisaged, some of which will be
carried out by Private Architects, but at this stage it is impossible
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 1964:—
"During the year, 272 families were housed as compared with
170 for the corresponding period 1963. Nevertheless, output from
new building schemes fell somewhat short of estimated completions
through delays affected by supplies and labour difficulties.
However, one very gratifying feature of the new building programme
was taking over the 18 storey tower block of 72 two
bedroom type flats on the Thornham Estate. The completed
estate will provide 164 dwellings and incorporate a nursery centre
for the under five years old.
This redevelopment scheme has been formed by the extinguishment
of Thornham Street, Haddo Terrace and the realignment
of Norman Road where it joins Creek Road. The block.
