Abstract
The need for some degree of public control over development was recognized in Britain towards the end of the last century and first found a place in legislation in 1909. From then until 1947, various planning measures were enacted but the powers given to local authorities were largely permissive and the control they were able to exercise was weak and purely preventive in character. There was very little scope for positive action under planning powers and cleareance and redevelopment were carried out as part of the slum clearance programme under housing legislation rather than under planning powers.
