HC Deb 29 April 1952 vol 499 c73W
89. Mr. Popplewell

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what were the circumstances that decided him to allow the appeals against the refusal of Newcastle-upon-Tyne Corporation to allow a house in Clayton Road, Jesmond, to be used as a social club, and another in the same road to be used as a furniture company offices.

Mr. Marples

My right hon. Friend allowed the appeals because in each case there was no likelihood of the premises being used for housing and the purposes for which it was proposed to use them were unobjectionable.

90. Mr. Popplewell

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many appeals he has received against refusals of Newcastle-upon-Tyne Corporation to allow houses to be used for other than living premises; and how many of these has he allowed.

Mr. Marples

The answer to the first part of the Question is 19. Of these one was withdrawn, 10 were allowed, and one is still pending.
