This section provides all the information you will need to help shape planning decisions in your local area.
- The development plan system (how plans are made).
- Development control system (how to respond to planning applications).
- Community strategies.
- Local strategic partnerships.
- The new Planning Act 2008.
Health warning
The Coalition Government has made significant changes to the planning system.
What's changed?
- The regional tier has been abolished so Regional Strategies and Policies no longer exist.
- The framework by which the Government assesses the performance of Local Government no longer exist.
The Government's intentions for the planning system can be found here in our briefing on the Localism Bill.
