Description
Town and country planning has never been more important to the UK, nor more prominent in national debate. Planning generates great controversy: whether it's spending £80m and four years' inquiry into Heathrow's Terminal 5, or the 200 proposed wind turbines in the Shetland Isles. At a different scale telecoms masts, take-aways, house extensions, and even fences are often the subject of intense local conflict. The revised 15th edition of 'Town and Country Planning' provides not only a ready source of information on planning policies, tools, procedures and topical issues - all set in historical context - but is fully updated to include: The implications of the 2008/9 Planning Act; Planning and climate change, energy and health; Examples of planning tools at national, regional and local levels; Case studies of plan preparation in the growth areas; Also featuring new sections on the spatial planning approach and spatial development trends, NGO's, the development industry and other topical issues, Town and Country Planning in the UK is unique in its breadth of coverage of planning issues. Students and researchers of planning, geography, real estate, housing, environmental studies, governance and many other subjects can use Town and Country Planning as a first source for study of a wide range of topics, whilst practitioners will find explanation of recent developments in policy and practice. Readers will value the extensive guidance on more detailed reading and signposting to other sources and web materials.
