HC Deb 07 July 1959 vol 608 c118W
80. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what steps he proposes to take to ensure that every opportunity is given to those who desire to see preserved the architectural beauty of squares and streets in London, which may be endangered by the erection of new buildings out of keeping with neighbouring architecture, to criticise or object to new building proposals before planning permission is granted.

Mr. H. Brooke

These matters must be left in the general run of cases to the London County Council as local planning authority, who always consider the effect of a new building on its neighbours, especially in a street or square of architectural beauty. In any case of sufficient importance they consult the Royal Fine Art Commission.
