A one dimensional misunderstanding of a multidimensional issue: a critique of the Barker Review of planning
Our report takes a critical look at the Barker Review of Land Use Planning. The Review's narrow focus on making the planning system easier for business and economic growth puts at risk the value of good planning to deliver sustainable development and a high quality living environment. We make the case for the planning system to be developed and strengthened with better protection for the countryside.- Report

- Departure Applications
How, when and why to ask that departure applications be called in
Local authorities make decisions on planning applications in line with policies in the approved development plan for their area. Sometimes a large-scale or controversial scheme gets approval which goes against the development plan. The local planning authority has to tell the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister about most departure applications it intends to approve. This guide explains what types of development could be considered a 'departure application', and when and how you can take action to influence a decision.

- How to Respond to Planning Applications
An eight-step guide
Most significant developments in the United Kingdom require planning permission from a local planning authority. This process usually involves the submission of a planning application. As a member of the public, you are entitled to examine and comment on planning applications as they are made. This is your chance to press for planning decisions that work for the good of the environment and your local community. This guide tells you how to find out more about a planning application and — if necessary — how you can take action.- Guide

- Local Development Frameworks
How you can use them to protect the countryside, promote urban regeneration and improve
As part of the new planning system in England, local authorities will have to prepare a ‘Local Development Framework’ by 2007. This will replace Local Plans, Structure Plans, and Unitary Development Plans. They will comprise a collection of documents, policies, and proposals which set out a local planning strategy. They require public participation when they are being prepared and developed. This guide explains opportunities you have to influence policies and plans, which in turn influence most types of development including housing and the fate of the local environment and countryside.
