Proposed changes to the English planning system
Communities and Local Government published for consultation in December 2009 until 19 March 2010, proposed changes to the English Planning system aimed to improve in the delivery of sustainable development and help remove further administrative burdens of the planning system on business.
The proposed changes are given in three consultation papers entitled as follows:
- Development Management: Proactive planning from pre application to delivery.
- Improving the use and discharge of planning conditions
- Improving the engagement by statutory and non statutory consultees
For further information please click here and see our planning bulletin which summarizes these proposed changes and gives our assessment of the practicalities of these changes. For further information please contact either Erica Mortimer or Mike Straw.
