Understanding current planning law is vital to all those advisers involved in property transactions. As the author states in his introduction, for Professional Indemnity reasons alone: ""It is absolutely essential that every property professional should be aware of those areas of planning which are most likely to cause them problems and to have their ""antennae"" activated by key indicators which present themselves.
The author's experience encompasses being a solicitor in private practice, as well as local government and regularly lecturing surveyors. He has used this breadth of experience to provide a comprehensive reference guide, building on the first edition by adding new chapters on planning appeals and on the countryside and planning.
