Greater London Council House Condition Survey, 1979

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><br>The development of housing policy in Greater London required knowledge of the existing condition and quality of the housing stock and of the scope for rehabilitating unsatisfactory properties. The last major survey (SN: 1625) was carried out in 1967 and was now seriously out of date. The 1979 survey was therefore designed to provide comprehensive information on the current state of the dwelling stock in London.
