Master or servant?
Article Abstract:
The UK planning system seems to be going through a transition from a market- or appeal-led system to a more plan-led system, but as yet this move is incomplete and several inconsistencies can be found. Until recently, the development plan was the 'servant' of the planning system, instead of being legally binding as in many countries. However, the role and status of the development plan is now changing due to factors including section 54A of the Planning and Compensation Act 1991. While developers and interest groups are now paying more attention to plans, courts and local authorities are not.

The evolution of the use classes order
Article Abstract:
The Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order has a history which shows how central and local government and the interests of private property interact in the planning process. The Use Classes Order has changed its aims since its introduction as part of the 1947 Town and Country Planning Act, with a major reform and liberalisation taking place in 1987. The development of this regulatory instrument can be traced through the Public Records Office, which provide evidence to show how the purpose behind regulations can evolve despite lack of overt change in those same regulations.

Planning enforcement in Hong Kong: implementing new planning law before the change of sovereignty
Article Abstract:
The Hong Kong Town Planning (Amendment) Bill 1996 was introduced to remedy problems created by the 1991 amendment of the planning law. The introduction of planning enforcement, in 1991, increased control by government planners over rural development but it also led to complicated planning cases. Planning enforcement is inefficient because courts often give lenient sentences and planners prefer not to work on prosecuting offenders. The 1996 Amendment bill allowed the use of aerial photographs to prove illegal development. It also increased public involvement in planning.
