Publisher's Synopsis
Over recent years, planning law has become so complex that students and practitioners alike have often found it difficult to disentangle the complicated issues and principles involved. Since the fifth edition of this book was published in 1995, a number of areas of the law have been affected by some important judicial decisions, particulary in the procedure for the adoption of local plans and the way in which planning permission subject to time limits for commencement may be "lost". Furthermore, new technology has led to new applications of the law, as with heliports on tidal rivers and "space flower" lighting equipment. This sixth edition will also include two chapters on the Transport and Work Act 1992 and the local government ombudsman.
