The role of landowners in the preparation of statutory local plans

Article Abstract:

Many landowners who make representations to local planning authorities are motivated by the likelihood of substantial development gains but often need good professional help if they are to succeed. Those landowners taking part in local planning proceedings often become involved in the development process. However, statutory local plans are sometimes unable to keep abreast of landowners' changing land management and development plans. The People's Plan for Greenwich, the Cambridge Green Belt Subject Local Plan and the Surrey Heath Local Plan are discussed with reference to the influence and involvement of landowners in their preparation.

Development plan inquiries

Article Abstract:

It is suggested that the Department of the Environment's (DoE) recommendations on how a development inquiry should be conducted needs modification. These modifications would include allowing local authorities to study any objections before setting a date for the inquiry and appointing an inspector. The inspector or authority should take responsibility for permitting late objections which should be subject to a time limit set by the DoE. Draft procedural notes should be issued before the pre-inquiry meeting, and written evidence should be presented at least three weeks before the inquiry ends.

Local plan inquiries

Article Abstract:

Decisions on planning matters made by local authorities may generate a great deal of controversy in the area, some residents benefitting and others losing out financially. Matters are often resolved by setting up a local inquiry, and research has shown some applications more likely to succeed than others. Factors can include type of objections, their number, whether professional help is obtained and ways of presenting objections. Conclusions show that professional help and good presentation are important.
