ABSTRACT
Much has been written elsewhere about the UK planning system, and there are also several texts available on the operations of the property
and real estate markets. Consequently this chapter seeks to offer introductory guidance and explanation of key principles and distinctive features of the industrial property market in the UK, and to convey a sense of the style of operation and forms and extent of government intervention, so that a non-British reader is better equipped to use texts written for a British readership and interpret the greater detail to be found there.
