Town and Country Planning in Britain

Vincent Vandin; J. Barry Cullingworth; Vincent Nadin

Synopsis:
This is the eleventh edition of Town and Country Planning in Britain, which has become the leading guide to the British planning system. The new edition has been completely revised and updated with more discussion of the changing planning framework and the policies which have emerged during recent years. New sections provide an introduction to the impact of the European Community on British planning policy and the dramatic changes in rural policy and transport planning. The book begins with a historical introduction tracing the evolution of British planning from prewar years to the present day. It examines the institutions and organizations which operate the planning system and focuses on the changing relationship between central and local government. The book then outlines the planning framework and discusses development control. Separate chapters cover issues such as land, the environment, Britain's heritage, the countryside and transport, public participation in the planning process, rights of appeal and objection, and the changes in public inquiries. This edition has been restructured and redesigned to be completely ``user-friendly'' and to respond to the changing needs of both planners and those studying planning.
