Alice had previously worked with Stanley Henry Beaver, associated with the Le Play society.
Balchin's Centenary volume outlines the Survey, which was launched at the GA's Annual Conference in January 1960. The survey asked students to categorise Land Use uner 60 categories, rather than the original 8, and worked at a larger scale (the new 1: 25 000 maps) - 120 maps were made from the Survey results apparently, with the aid of grants from LEAs and other organisations.
Details below are taken from a report by the Soddy Trust
Some examples of the maps produced.
