| AdminHistory | Livingston was planned to have a suitable blend of privately built and Corporation built housing. Areas deemed suitable for large scale private developments were submitted to the Secretary of State for Scotland as Stage A Submissions for his approval. Minor developments which did not affect the character of an area could be given planning permission by the Corporation, which held planning authority in the designated area.
As of 1987 there were c.12000 Corporation built properties to c.1500 privately built homes within the Livingston designated area. Corporation built property was planned by the technical departments, and tenants managed by the Housing Department (LDC/PS/2). The Commercial Directorate assessed potential private developments, and submitted planning permission to the Secretary of State for Scotland. |
