Catalogue description Ministry of Town and Country Planning: Advisory Panel on Redevelopment of City Centres and Central Advisory Committee on Estate Development and Management: Minutes, Papers and Reports

Advisory Panel on Redevelopment of City Centres

The Panel was appointed in 1943 by the Minister of Town and Country Planning "to examine the main planning issues involved in the redevelopment of city centres which have been devastated by bombing, to define and measure the problems of finance and organisation connected therewith and to set out the relevant considerations on which central and local Government policy in regard to such development should be based.

Central Advisory Committee on Estate Development and Management

The Committee was conceived as a permanent body but confined, in practice, to the single issue of estate management in blitzed areas. It was set up in 1945 by the Minister of Town and Country Planning "to advise the Minister on any question relating to management and estate development of land acquired or appropriated for the purposes of the Town and Country Planning Acts 1932 and 1944, which may be referred by him to the Committee".
