Ferdinand Place Clearance Order.
The Council on the 21st February made a Compulsory Purchase Order in respect of
Nos. 26 to 30 and 32 to 36 even (inclusive) and Nos. 42 to 60 even (inclusive) Ferdinand Place ;
Nos. 5 to 11 consecutive (inclusive) and Augusta Cottage, Harmood Place; and Nos. 2 to 10
even (inclusive) and Nos. 5 to 19 odd (inclusive) Powlett Place, upon the representation of the
late Medical Officer of Health, Dr. G. Sowden. It was considered that the site could be
developed for housing purposes provided that adjoining properties were compulsorily purchased
under Section 3 of the Housing Act, 1930, in order to provide for the satisfactory development
of the cleared area. Nos. 43 to 57 odd (inclusive) Harmood Street and factory at the rear of
Nos. 45 and 47, known as 2a, Harmood Place; Nos. 30a (hall used for dances and club
purposes) and the vacant sites of Nos. 38 and 40, Ferdinand Place, were therefore included
in the Order, which was confirmed by the Ministry on the 23rd July. The total area
is approximately 1| acres. The number of families residing in the area who will be
displaced is 61.
The development of the site by the Council's Architect, Mr. Albert J. Thomas,
F.R.I.B.A., provides for an estate of 111 flats, consisting of 392 rooms, exclusive of kitchens.
The approval of the sanctioning authorities has been obtained to the scheme.
The accommodation to be provided will be required to rehouse at moderate rentals
families displaced from other clearance areas, illegally occupied underground rooms, and other
