Article Abstract:

Most people questioned in a survey undertaken by a team from Prism Research and the University of the West of England feel that the UK's planning system offers value for money and has produced improvements in the quality of developments. These results are contained in a recent department of the environment report entitled 'Attitudes to Town and Country Planning.' They will be welcomed by the planning profession, which now seems to have received vindication for its work.
