Details

Planning Law: A Practitioner's Handbook is an indispensable reference work for the busy planning professional, providing answers to a whole range of problems which commonly arise in day-to-day practice.

The second edition has new and expanded chapters on a number of topics, such as housing supply and the operation of the titled balance, renewable energy from wind and solar. It also deals with national policy in conserving and enhancing the natural environment (including the protected landscapes duty in the case of national parks and National Landscapes [formerly AONBs], planning in the Green Belt, planning and flood risk, planning in town centres and air quality). The book also has up-to-date chapters on planning enforcement, legal challenges and public rights of way.

This second edition covers several important recent developments since the publication of the first edition, such as the Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025. There are also chapters dealing with recent reforms and further anticipated changes to planning law.
