HC Deb 27 October 1966 vol 734 c216W
83. Mr. Boston

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how much land is available and how much could be made available in the Sitting-bourne area for further residential and industrial development, respectively.

Mr. MacColl

In Sittingbourne urban district 92.8 acres of land are available for new industry plus 16.2 acres already owned by firms for their own expansion. Land is available for 3,655 new dwellings and the local planning authority would have difficulty in providing more land for development in quantity because of the high agricultural value of surrounding land.
