HC Deb 15 February 1949 vol 461 c154W
109. Mr. H. D. Hughes

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning what obligation now rests on local or regional planning authorities to notify or consult amenity societies and other interested parties before proceeding with development.

Mr. King

There is no formal obligation on local authorities to notify or consult amenity societies before proceeding with development, but much informal consultation takes place.
