NO. 5 AREA - Partial survey of this area was carried out during
the year- The Order was confirmed by the Minister
and will come into force on 1st October, 1963.
The area which is situated in the South West Corner
of the Borough is 425 acres in extent and is bounded
on the South by the Borough boundary with Tottenham,
on the East by Bull Lane and Haselbury Road, on the
North by Westerham Avenue, the Great Cambridge Road
and on the West by the Borough boundary with Southgate.
The Area is essentially residential in character and
contains 3817 houses, 96 commerical premises, 3
industrial premises and 17 other premises. Of the
houses 143 are owned by the Borough Council, the
Tottenham Council and the Huxley Estates also own a
large number of houses, but the remainder are mainly
owner-occupied. Thirty dwellings in Crown ownership
are exempt from the Order and the St. David's Hospital
also falls within this category; an assurance has
already been received from the War Department that
their dwellings will conform with the requirements of
the Order. The commercial premises are almost entirely
shops and the industrial premises are on the Oakthorpe
Estate of the London Co-operative Society Limited and
Diggins factory. The other premises include four
schools, a church and church halls, a branch library
and clinic.

During the year 372 observations of industrial chimneys in the Borough
were made by the Public Health Inspectors.
