§ Rear-Admiral BEAMISHasked the Minister of Health whether any steps are taken to ascertain the views of the inhabitants and house owners of a residential district before permission is granted for the erection of shops in that district?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI have recommended local authorities to ascertain and consider the representations of persons likely to be seriously affected by any proposed development before granting permission for it while a town planning scheme is in course of preparation, and I believe that local authorities generally observe the spirit of my recommendation.
