Proposals for future development of built-up portion of city to preserve 
as far as possible the historic, archeological and architectural buildings, and 
to open up vistas of such buildings. 
Detailed plans prepared by agreement for the preservation and future 
development of the Cathedral Close, clearance of buildings surrounding 
the old city wall, gates and towers. 
Proposed new roads reduced to a minimum, but at least two inner circular 
roads required—gradient difficulties on south-east side of city. Reference 
also to flood prevention, provision of car parks and to ultimate treatment of 
civic centre. 
Road and traffic problem difficulties illustrated by a similarity of Norwich 
to a hand and wrist—the wrist being the one main outlet to the coast, the 
thumb and fingers the main roads north, south and west. 
The co-ordination of business, residential, industrial and shopping 
centres, illustrated by a user map, also a map indicating streets of architec- 
tural interest. 
‘'The City of Parks,’ to preserve its reputation. 
Preservation of amenities, shop limits, heights of garden fences, preserva- 
tion of trees, incongruous roofs, and building materials, redevelopment of

Dr. VauGHAN CornisH.—The cliff scenery of England and the preservation 
of its amenities (10.0).

latter the cliff lands are the most important section. ‘Their outlook on the 
sea is comparable in its natural majesty to the Alpine heights which are the 
culmination of Continental scenery. 
It is important that Local Authorities, under the powers conferred by 
the Town and Country Planning Act, should (1) secure a permanent right 
of way along all cliff fronts not yet comprised in private gardens ; (2) pro- 
cure as a public open space a strip of at least 100 yds. broad reckoning from 
the cliff edge. The setting of the building line at this distance is not by 
itself an adequate provision, the garden fence should not be allowed a nearer 
approach. 
The preservation of our cliff scenery for the public should not, however, 
be saddled entirely on the Local Authorities, for it happens that many of 
the parts which are of most importance to the nation as a whole are situated 
in localities where rateable value is relatively small and where scenic preserva- 
tion is of much less financial benefit to the residents than in the neighbour- 
hood of the large watering places. Certain stretches of coast should, 
therefore, come under the proposed scheme for National Parks, reservations
