Publisher's Synopsis
Planning law has become increasingly complex in recent years. By identifying 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.;The recent Planning and Compensation Act 1991 has added further to this complexity. In addition to making major changes to the enforcement provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, many other provisions of the 1900 Act have been amended by the 1991 Act in a way likely to have a substantial impact on both Planning and Practice. This new edition incorporates those changes as well as the many amendments made to secondary legislation as a result of the 1991 Act.
