There is never a guarantee that permission will be given and without it no project can start. Yet the system is not at all user-friendly. There is a bewildering array of formalities to go through and ever more stringent requirements to satisfy. Planning permission has never been more difficult to get, nor so sought after - every year over half-a-million applications are made, and the number is rising. These trends create a tremendous need for this book, providing as it does clear, step-by-step guidance on how to go about securing planning permission successfully. It is written in an accessible style and illustrated throughout with photographs, drawings and examples. Title Information

Darren Field BSc CTIS, Building professional 'Obtaining planning permission is an essential part of the design process, especially if architects want to earn their fee.
