HC Deb 27 February 1967 vol 742 c31W
Mr. John Fraser

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether, in view of the need for pre-school play group and nursery facilities, he will advise local planning authorities to consider favourably planning applications for the partial use of adequate residential property for these purposes.

Mr. MacColl

The policy statement that a school or residential nursery is in place in a residential area, appearing on page 19 of the booklet "Selected Planning Appeals" (Second Series, Volume One), published by H.M.S.O. and circulated to planning authorities in 1959, is still valid and applies equally to preschool facilities. My right hon. Friend does not consider that any further advice is necessary.
