ABSTRACT

Moving a factory is a very difficult and anxious process. If the Development Plans prepared under the 1947 Act are to be effective they will involve, among other things, a considerable movement both of factories and workers at a rate far in advance of that achieved since the war. If this tidying up is to take place it will be necessary to offer industrialists positive inducements to move. One of the principal instruments of planning under the 1947 Act as with its predecessors is the division of the area into different use zones, with the necessary result that many factories, as well as other types of buildings, now find themselves as non-conforming users in the wrong use zone. One of the things from which industrial planning is suffering at present is the general lack of a proper relationship between national and local planners. Industrialist and planner should work together and learn to appreciate each other's problems.
