Administrative / biographical background:

The Planning Division F was the creation of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government during the 1960s, but the prefix PF was not used until late 1970. Following the Department of the Environment's creation in 1970, branches of the Division changed from being denoted by a number to being a letter. Following the reorganisation, the Division comprised four branches PF1, PF2, PF3 and PF4. The functions of the branches were as follows:

PF1: Planning for Greater London.

PF2: Planning for South Eastern Counties, Hampshire and Isle of Wight. Channel Tunnel.

PF3: Planning for Bedfordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire and Southern Counties (except Hampshire and the Isle of Wight). Third London Airport.

PF4: Planning appeal decisions for South East (including Greater London) and East Anglia

In 1971 under a reorganisation of the Planning Divisions the Planning Division F and its branches were abolished and the functions split between Third London Airport Directorate, South East Directorate and Channel Tunnel Studies Unit
