HC Deb 03 December 1957 vol 579 cc31-2W
Mr. Robert Cooke

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many notices have been received under Section 30 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, involving demolitions of buildings; how many buildings were involved since January, 1956; how many of these buildings fell within his Department's categories Grade II* and Grade I; and how many buildings were preserved as the result of him using his default powers under Section 100 (2).

Mr. H. Brooke

Nine hundred and thirty-eight notices have been received since 1st July, 1951. Notices received since 1st January, 1956, affected 436 buildings, of which four are in Grade I; I cannot give a precise figure for the number in Grade II*. Twenty-three buildings are covered by preservation orders made by my predecessors or myself.
