§ Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Minister of Public Building and Works why houses in Kayes Close, Wyke Regis, Weymouth, Dorset, for housing of naval officers, were 135W built in an inferior style, resulting in criticism by the local authority and the lowering of the value of surrounding property.
§ Mr. BoydenI do not regard these houses as having been built in an inferior style. They were designed to fit in with the district as a whole and once they have been landscaped I am sure they will do this.
The Borough of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis, who were consulted in the usual way during the planning stage, offered only minor criticisms of detail which they did not press although they were given the opportunity to do so.
