Planning: practical advice
Article Abstract:
The UK National Planning Forum is promoting the 'Development Team Approach' as a way of providing a more customer-oriented and integrated local authority service to the development industry. The National Planning Forum's new advice note proposes that local authorities introduce a 'one-stop service' for all development approvals for which they are responsible. The Development Team Approach will include development services such as building control, planning, highways and sewerage, and may also encompass areas such as fire services if necessary.

Planning: practical advice
Article Abstract:
Planning application appeals in the United Kingdom are still taking a long time to be processed even though the Department of Environment assigned the Planning Inspectorate to speed things up. The Inspectorate's targets are not being met, with many inquiry dates taking more than a year to be settled. Administrative and inspection staff has been reduced to levels lower than is necessary to ensure than an adequate job is done. A number of practical changes have been proposed by the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Article Abstract:
Islington ad Camden borough councils are bidding for Single Regeneration Budget funding to create an urban village, and Islington urban regeneration chairman James Winston, is hoping to link the 24-hour economy with the scheme. Such areas with 24-hour economy would have late opening and relaxed licensing which would attract new business. The National Planning Forum (NPF) working party has considered the concerns over the Use Classes Order (UCO).
