Associations draw up 21st century planning agenda
Article Abstract:
A consultation document produced by the ADC, AMA and ACC local government associations in the UK sets down plans for preparing the planning system for the 21st century. It highlights problems such as delays in plan-making and a lack of cross-sectoral working, and claims that these are preventing the planning system from being fully effective in improving the quality of people's lives. It calls for the creation of a national planning framework in place of the present system of PPGs.
