The planning system determines what can be built, where it is built and what it looks like. It shapes the future development of our towns, villages and communities and governs all physical change within them. People's concern and interest in this area is at an all-time high and yet there is frustration and bitterness among the public because they feel excluded from the process and unable to make their voice heard. This book, first published in 1994, provides a vital and unusually accessible insight to the myriad complexities of the planning system. It arms the layman with all the information necessary to participate in planning decisions, the appeals process and local plans successfully. The information relates to all development, from a neighbour's extension to a nuclear power station. Each section deals with a different, key aspect of the planning process. Illustrated with tables, charts and example plans, drawings, letters, forms and documents. People who bought this book also boughtTitle Information
