These Regulations provide for the transfer to local planning authorities for the purposes of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947 (normally county or county borough councils), of property held and liabilities incurred for planning purposes before the coming into force of the Act by county district councils and joint planning committees which bodies will cease to be local planning authorities on the appointed day (1st July, 1948). Officers of these bodies who were in whole-time employment on planning business are also transferred by the regulations to the employment of the new local planning authorities.
The Regulations also provide machinery for compensating persons who lose employment or remuneration as a result of the transfer of functions effected by the Act, similar to the machinery set up for the purposes of the National Health Service Act, 1946.
If the claimant was not pensionable, compensation will cease at normal retiring age unless he had expected to continue for a substantial period thereafter, in which case he will receive compensation after that age, for life, at half the rate he was getting up to that age (paragraph 24). Overlap with pension or remuneration from public funds is avoided (paragraphs 13, 35 and 36). A claimant who is aggrieved by a decision of a compensating authority may appeal to referees appointed by the Minister of Labour and National Service after consultation with the Lord Chancellor (Regulation 17).
