Telling & Duxbury's Planning Law and Procedure covers the fundamental principles of planning law in England and Wales. Now in its fourteenth edition, this guide to the complexities of planning law has been fully updated to take account of significant developments in legislation and case law since the previous edition's publication in 2005. This title comprehensively covers all aspects of planning law, with chapters on central and local administration, development, planning permission, environmental impact assessment, conservation, and review by the courts and ombudsmen. This edition also looks ahead to the far-reaching proposed changes to law and policy which were signaled in the government's White Paper of May 2007, Planning for a Sustainable Future, and the Planning Act 2008. The book discusses the implications for planning decisions and local communities of the proposed independent planning commission to consider major infrastructure projects. Robert Duxbury also analyzes developments in planning law such as the new policy on sustainability with coverage of the Sustainable Communities Act 2007. The book examines the impact of the new Local Development Frameworks on the planning process and their role in coordinating sustainable development intended to address the needs and concerns of both the local community and the developers. Written in a concise and user-friendly format, this book is an ideal resource for lawyers specializing in planning law, planning professionals, and students studying planning law, surveying, town planning, architecture, and environmental law.
