ABSTRACT
Town and Country Planning in the UK has become the 'bible' of British planning. It is the most used and biggest-selling book in its field for university courses in the UK. This thirteenth edition has been completely revised, (with every chapter updated) to take into account new developments, including the changes to the planning system and policies introduced by the Labour government, devolution to Scotland and Wales, new urban initiatives, innovation in sustainable development and the role of the European Union in spatial planning and environment policy. Detailed consideration is given to:
* the nature of planning and its historical evolution
* central and local government and the EU and other agencies
* the framework of plans and other planning instruments
* development control
* land policy and planning gain
* environmental and countryside planning
* sustainable development, waste and pollution
* heritage and transport planning
* urban policies and regeneration
* planning, the profession and the public.
