One of the first tasks of the Central Unit for Environmental Planning was the examination of the feasibility of accommodating in Humberside and Severnside the increase expected in the national population by the end of the century. Work on the Humberside study was begun in the autumn of 1966 and the report was published in April 1969. Work on the Severnside study commenced in spring 1967 and the report was submitted in 1970 and published in 1971. A Tayside study was started in autumn 1967 but responsibility for this was passed to the Secretary of State for Scotland. A study of "Mobile Industry" in relation to the needs of development areas and new towns was also conducted by the unit as were investigations into Maritime Industrial Development Areas and the Central Lancashire Industrial Complex New Town.
The reports produced by the unit did not commit the Department, or other departments from which the unit members were seconded, to particular action.
