| Administrative/ biographical background | The Planning, Minerals and Countryside Directorate of the Department of the Environment was established, initially to deal with rural planning issues. The directorate's four divisions were responsible for general questions on rural amenities and recreation; national parks; liaison with the Countryside Commission; land use planning; and general policy and legislation on minerals and derelict land. Prior to the establishment of the directorate, these functions had previously been carried out by the Minerals Division of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government from 1951 until about 1967, and then by the ministry's Countryside Division until 1969. From 1969 to about 1972 these functions were carried out by Planning Division C which became part of the newly created Department of the Environment in 1970. In 1974, the Planning, Minerals and Countryside Directorate merged with the Planning, Regional Development Directorate to form the Planning, Regional and Minerals Directorate. |
