HC Deb 19 May 1947 vol 437 cc202-3W
56. Lieut.-Colonel Hamilton

asked the Minister of Agriculture in regard to 'he selection of a smallholding known as Bull's Piece at Kedington village as a housing site, which was approved by the rural land utilisation officer, what steps this officer took to inspect the site in question or otherwise ascertain its agricultural value.

Mr. T. Williams

My rural land utilisation officer personally inspected this site in September, 1944, and in view of its location in relation to existing development and its eminent suitability as a housing site it was decided that the council's proposal could not, reasonably be opposed on agricultural grounds.
