The Planning Division G was the creation of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government during the late 1960s, but the prefix PG was not used until late 1970, Following the Department of the Environment's creation in 1970, branches of the Division changed from being denoted by a number to being denoted by a letter. Following the reorganisation, the Division comprised two branches: PG1 and PG2. The functions of the branches were as follows:
PG1: Constitution, organisation and functions of economic planning councils and boards. Economic Planning Board for East Anglia. Planning for East Anglia.
PG2: Office development policy. Office development permits for London and South East. Economic Planning Board for South East.
In late 1971, following a reorganisation of the Planning Divisions, the number of branches were expanded to three, the functions of which were:
PG1: Land compensation. Planning and open space land transactions. Disposal of surplus government land. Development by Government Departments.
PG2: Office development policy. Office development permits for London and South East.
PG3: Assessment and collection of betterment levy. Disposal of land acquired for Land Commission.
Following a further reorganisation in 1972 the Planning Division G and its branches were abolished and the functions split between Planning Land Use Policy and South East and East Anglia Directorate
