Planners seek a strategy for the South East
Article Abstract:
The South East is seen as the most economically important area in the UK as it provides a vital land supply near London. The draft report on regional planning in the South East up to 2006 will be published in early 1993. Delay has been caused due to discord between the Treasury and the Department of the Environment over public finance. Emphasis is on the environment. About 4,000 hectares of urban land will be reused to avoid destroying countryside. Eagle Star Properties has launched its plan for the development of a market town centred around Micheldever station in Hampshire.

Infill loses to new development
Article Abstract:
Widespread dissatisfaction on the treatment of new settlements in the Department of the Environment's PPG3 (Planning Policy Guidance Note - 3 Housing) has led to lobbying for revision of the document for Autumn 1992. The Urban Villages Group, supported by Prince Charles, believes that more urban villages should be built with a legally binding code covering, architecture, environmental aspects, estate management and infrastructure. The TCPA (Town and Country Planning Association) believes that new settlements would offer cheap housing, employment and reduce commuting.

An inspector falls
Article Abstract:
UK housebuilders are facing considerable challenges as local authorities increasingly reject the recommendations of lengthy and complicated public inquiries. The government has emphasized that it does not intend to make inspectors' recommendations binding after a local public inquiry. This means that housebuilders may incur heavy legal costs with little hope of a decision in their favour being implemented. Many complex legal issues are now emerging in relation to challenges to the adoption of local plans.
