HC Deb 27 November 1945 vol 416 cc1290-1W
Mr. P. Freeman

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning what is the minimum standard of open space per 1,000 of population in any town planning scheme sanctioned; and the minimum to be set aside for games and recreation.

Mr. Silkin

It would not be practicable, in view of the wide variation of circumstances, to lav down a minimum standard of open space for application to every planning scheme. I have, however, in a circular, of which I am sending my hon. Friend a copy, advised local planning authorities regarding the normal standards to which they should have regard in the matters referred to.
