The Planning Regime – policy, plans & development control.

Overview

This course follows on from Understanding the Development Process, and looks in more detail at the planning process, covering how plans and policies are developed, and then used to control how land is used and developed. This course is the same as Day 2 of the Intermediate Development course.

Target Audience

This course is suitable for Development and Regeneration staff who are new to the discipline, and staff from other teams within Registered Providers who are drafted into Development project teams.

Entry or Pre-course Requirements

This course is designed to follow on from Understanding the Development Process. It is preferable, although not essential, that delegates should either have attended that course or have an equivalent level of knowledge.

Recommended Reading

None, although it is helpful if delegates review the planning part of a local authority’s website before attending the course, to see the status of that LA’s Local Development Plan.
