purposes, lapsed on the 6th December, 1952.
The Town and Country Planning (Housing Accommodation) Direction, 1952,
provides that, on receipt of an application for planning permission for
development which involves a dwelling-house being used other than as a dwelling,
a local planning authority which is not the housing authority in relation
to that dwelling must consult the housing authority before determining the
application. Applications for such planning consent are therefore referred
by the London County Council, as local planning authority, to the Borough
Council for observations. In 57 cases objections by the Borough Council to
the proposed change of use were supported by the County Council.
Of appeals dealt with by the Minister, four were upheld, four were withdrawn
with the Minister's consent, and five were dismissed.
