This edition has been extensively revised to take into account changes introduced by the Labour Government, and the devolution of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and provides a critical discussion of current issues and problems. It provides an explanation of the nature of planning, the institutions and organisations involved, the plans and other tools used by planners, the system of controlling development and land use change, and planning policies pursued. Detailed consideration is given to: the nature of planning and its historical evolution; Central and Local Government, the EU and other agencies; the framework of plans and other planning instruments; development control; land policy and planning gain; environmental and countryside planning; sustainable development, waste and pollution; heritage and transport planning; urban policies and regeneration; planning, the profession and the public.
