Policy and performance: Strategic planning

25 August 2007

Some put it down to the sustainable communities plan, others to the rise of spatial planning. There is little doubt that the planning system is operating on a much wider canvas, both in the scale of development and in the tasks it involves.

Policy and performance: Management

25 August 2007

The government may have started to distance itself from the much-criticised target culture, but efficient performance remains as much of a concern for local planning authorities as ever.

Development: Planning for homes

25 August 2007

"A major watershed" is how Tetlow King managing director Robin Tetlow describes PPS3. The statement, which appeared last November, relaxes hard-line rules on issues such as minimum density and obliges councils to identify long-term pools of land for housing.

Development: Leisure

Leisure continues to be a fast changing sector thanks in part to a string of legislative changes in recent years. The introduction of more relaxed alcohol licensing laws is still working its way through the system.

Urban planning: Regeneration

25 August 2007

The government's housing market renewal programme and a host of investor-led town centre redevelopments are among key business areas for consultants in the regeneration field.

25 August 2007

The drive for more sustainable forms of development is having a major impact on urban design. Local authority and private clients are becoming more sophisticated about the design process, across the spectrum from transport engineers to planners and environmental consultants.

Business: Retailing and town centres

25 August 2007

The world of retail planning consultancy faces a massive shake-up following publication of the planning white paper in May. Over the past ten years retail policy has been relatively stable, characterised by ever-tightening controls over out-of-centre developments.

Business: Commercial development

25 August 2007

Demand is healthy for most categories of employment space. Planning consultants are piloting business, office and distribution projects as stand-alone ventures and as part of major mixed-use urban development and renewal projects.
