expedient in order to secure the best use of that or other land and any
buildings or works which have been, or are to be, erected, constructed or
carried out thereon, whether by itself or by any other person, or to secure
the erection, construction or carrying out thereon of any buildings or works
appearing to it to be needed for the proper planning of the area in which the

accommodation on such land and who are willing to comply with any requirements
of the Ministry as to the development and use of such land, an opportunity to
obtain thereon accommodation suitable to their reasonable requirements.
