MUCH-DEBATED LAND PLANNING ©
ACT EXPLAINED BY LABOR GOVT.

The Town and. Country Plan-
ning Bill, which was published in
London on Jan. 8-in anticipation

oft its early. debate by the United

Kingdom. House, of Commons on
its second reading,. is. the. con-
summation of years.of inquiry by
successive governments into the

problems of using land to the best ,

national advantage.

The Bill’s:main objects are to
set up a planning system to meet
present day. requirements, to pro-
duce a comprehensive solution of
the problem of development
values in land and thereby to re-
move one of the main obstacles

The Bill sets up a new system
which, in the view of the govern-
ment, makes practical for the first
time such projects as the recon-

struction and redevelopment of

old towns, the preservation of
green belts around towns, the pro-
vision of open spaces in: crowded
areas, and the allocation of land
in the right place for new houses
and factories, ctc., as exemplified
in the Abercrombie plan for Lon-

' don and similar projects for other

cities. Such things have been im-
possible hitherto because . of the
heavy compensation due to land-.
owners from local authorities, and
because of the static’ and rigid
planning system which gave undue

emphasis to local at: the expense
i =o regional and national needs.

The Bill does not nationalize
land; but deprives landowners of
the right to build on their land
except in accordance with plan-

daries, the counties. (which in-
clude cities administered as coun-
ties) would be able to form joint
planning boards. . The minister of
Town and: Country Planning

The Bill provides - full power's
for the public purchase of the
land required. for. ‘carrying outa
plan,: and provides a. national
grant to local authorities for loss -
on redevelopment operations, for
compulsory purchase. where they
reduce the value of land they buy
by putting it to less profitable
use, and for payments to the land-

tory undertakings, would be at
the existing use value on March,
1939, standard. This decision, in
view of the change since then in
the value of money, will be chal-
lenged on behalf of the landown-
ers.
; The powers already possessed
by local authorities for dealing
with devastated areas are extend-
ed to any land wanted for devel-
opment or ‘redevelopment for a
10-year building program. -Such
programs could be extended when
plans are reviewed at least every |
five years, and. could thus always
be kept five to ten years ahead.
The ‘Bill also provides powers
to control outdoor advertisements,
which have long disfigured town
and country. Authorities already
have powers to preserve trees in
the interests of amenity, and his-
toric buildings, and these are re-
affirmed at the same time as the
