The art of creating a tactical tourist trail
Article Abstract:
Speakers at a conference in Brighton, England, for planners and those involved in tourism emphasized the importance of joint working practices when dealing with planning applications in tourist areas. It was recognized that although tourism is a growing industry some restrictions on building development are necessary to preserve the attractive nature of specific areas. It was suggested that input from the tourist industry at the start of the planning procedure and having one person who has overall responsibility would assist co-operation between both authorities.

Cold comfort found in the draft of PPG7: the draft version of PPG7 has left ruralists feeling some loopholes have not been closed. So do farmers get an easy ride from the planning system?
Article Abstract:
The new draft countryside and rural economy document PPG7 aims to address the concerns of those who believe that farmers enjoy too many planning privileges. However the Council for the Protection of Rural England believes that the changes do not sufficiently close loopholes and that extensive permitted development rights for agriculture still remain. The measures taken to prevent abuse of the system are generally welcomed.
