4.5 linear metres

MCC/CL/L/PL 1922-1965 Collection 4.5 linear metres MCC , Middlesex County Council x Middlesex County Council

The MCC became a planning authority in 1948. It planning duties were to control the development of land in the County and to prepare a Development Plan. Between the wars Middlesex had grown at a phenomenal rate, producing sprawl and over-industrialisation, with the attendant problems of competing uses for the remaining available land.

The County Development Plan, which laid down the future pattern of land use in Middlesex, was approved by the Minister of Housing and Local Government in 1956, with a Review of the Plan approved in 1964. The Plan maintained a careful balance of competing uses and was primarily directed towards the maintenance of the Green Belt, a limitation on uses giving rise to employment and improved provision of open space and land for the social services. Under its planning policies, the Council arranged for hundreds of trees to be planted near main thoroughfares and acquired about fifty wrongly-sited premises in order to extinguish their industrial uses.

Acquired with the records of its parent authority, the Middlesex County Council, and with successor authorities.
