Synopsis
Excerpt from Handbook of Town Planning: As Applicable to Scotland
The importance of the town planning provisions of the Act is likely to induce many local authorities in Scotland, in the near future, to take the matter up, either on their own initiative or at the instance of the Local Government Board. Perhaps one of the best features of a town planning scheme is that pro visions may be made therein for restricting the number of buildings which may be erected per acre, and the height and character thereof. The fact that the provisions for town planning are embraced in the Acts dealing with the housing of the working classes is apt to convey the impression that these provisions form a complicated piece of machinery, and the imten tion of the present handbook is to give such a general outline of the town planning provisions applicable to Scotland, and the steps of procedure connected there with, as will be readily followed by town and county councillors and others interested in carrying out the Act. The Appendix hereto contains a copy of the Act and the Regulations of the Local Government Board for Scotland.
