• The new "development plan" – National Planning Framework 4 and local development plans
• Introduction of regional spatial strategies and local place plans
• New permitted development rights and use classes
• Changes to pre-application consultation procedure
• Changes to environmental impact assessment procedures
• Finney and other court decisions on the section 42 procedure for varying planning conditions
• The Hillside court decision about multiple implementation of planning permissions
• Changes to section 75 obligations, including the Elsick court decision
• Short term holiday lets – introduction of control areas

Features

• Expected to be the first to address the 2019 Act changes
• Written in a practical and user-friendly style by an expert author who understands how the planning system operates
• Helpful explanatory diagrams and flowcharts

Planning 5th edition is an essential text for lawyers, planners, surveyors, environmental consultants, architects and community councils. Although providing detailed dissection of planning in Scotland for seasoned professionals, the book also provides a succinct introduction to the area, working as the perfect tool for either LLB or Diploma students.
