Administrative / biographical background:

The Planning Urban Project Appraisal Directorate of the Department of the Environment was established in 1972. It was responsible for transport planning methods, including transportation studies; the Traffic Advisory Unit; traffic management experiments; urban road planning and other related activities, such as traffic regulations, pedestrianisation and local plans for lorry routing and parking. Prior to 1972 these functions were carried out by the Urban and Regional Professional Division C of the Ministry of Transport from 1968.

In 1975 these responsibilities were transferred to the Local Transportation and Roads Directorate and then in 1976 removed from the oversight of the Department of the Environment due to the formation of the Ministry of Transport.
