Publisher's Synopsis
Planning law has become increasingly complex in recent years. By indentifying the fundamental principles of the law, this book helps both students and practitioners to disentangle the complicated issues involved in this field. The author guides readers through the main statutory code in such a way as to make it both intelligible and accessible. He examines the legal machinery for obtaining planning permission for the development of land, as well as dealing with additional controls imposed in areas of special environmental significance. This new edition is brought up to date to cover the latest Consolidation Act and has two new chapters on environmental assessment and ancient monuments and areas of architectural importance. Victor Moore is also a visiting lecturer in local government and planning law at the Inns of Court School of Law.
