HC Deb 16 March 1933 vol 275 c2153W
Mr. HICKS

asked the Minister of Health in view of the request made to him by the local authority to vary the Chingford town planning scheme by allocating land to be used for private dwellings for a factory extension what steps he intends to take to protect the residents from the diversion of neighbouring land to uses other than those originally specified?

Mr. McENTEE

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the Chingford Council has permitted land scheduled for residential purposes to be used for the extension of a laundry; that there is resentment on the part of local residents against the council's infringement of its scheme; and what action he proposes to take?

Sir H. YOUNG:

The question of the extension of the laundry referred to arose on an objection by the owner to the Chingford town planning scheme when deposited as proposed to be approved, and after careful review of the objection and the representations of neighbouring owners I came to the conclusion that the extension of the laundry (which was in existence before the commencement of the scheme) could not fairly be prevented.
