Hands-off approach

Article Abstract:

The Labour Government plans to create regional development agencies in England which will be responsible for transport, financial and land planning matters. The proposed creation of a Welsh Assembly and a Scottish Parliament is likely to further devolve central government's powers concerning planning decisions. The Government has acknowledged its support for out-of-town developments particularly those associated with urban renewal projects. Developers may find they have to bear additional costs as local authorities try to find extra funds following changes in the 1997 budget.

Remains needn't ruin you

Article Abstract:

Developers may use the existence of archaeological remains, on their building sites, to the best advantage and may even be able to exploit their findings as a promotional tool. Developers should investigate the extent of the archaeological remains, on a site, before submitting a planning application. Local authority experts and archaeologists will be able to offer constructive advice. Changes to plans may be necessary to accomodate the remains. Developers should refer to the documents PPG 15 and 16 for the UK government's position on preserving archaeological remains.

Diversionary tactics

Article Abstract:

It is likely increasing demand for new buildings and the government policy on stopping out of town development will increase competition for land in the UK. Developers are trying to find new strategies to use against their competitors who have been granted planning permission. They are utilizing a number of unusual methods to stop building going ahead, such as challenging consent issued from other parties. Developers may also use objections against third parties, such as the utilities suppliers, to stop new development going ahead.
