		Abercrombie, a man already well respected in the field of Town Planning, had the freedom of being able to treat the city centre as a single cleared site of around 200 acres, which could be brought into local authority ownership.
		Although Abercrombie’s Plan for Plymouth dealt with Plymouth as a whole it was the radical redevelopment of the city centre, which proved most captivating.
		Abercrombie described Armada Way as the Plan’s ‘one great decorative – even monumental – feature’, the intention being to allow visitors arriving by train an immediate view of the city’s most famous landmark, the Hoe.

		Abercrombie began with the statement that ‘Adequate open space for both recreation and rest is a vital factor in maintaining and improving the health of the people’.
		Abercrombie described the conception that no new buildings would be erected on the land in either ring as ‘revolutionary’, but in line with the Uthwatt Committee’s Report.

	Now We Must Rebuild: The Greater London Plan, 1944
		‘I have for years worked very closely with Patrick Abercrombie, and it was largely through him that we were able to get the Barlow Royal Commission to come down on the side of decentralisation, limitation of city growth, and the national control of the location of industry.
		Abercrombie is the only philosophic or sociological planner in the country; and he is also the recognised head of the profession, his prestige has, with the new fashion for planning, risen to great heights.’(1)
		In 1941 the Minister of Works and Buildings asked the LCC to prepare a plan which became the County of London Plan 1943 – the proto report for the later Greater London Plan 1944 which was commissioned by the same Ministry in 1942.
