Better never than unfairly late

Article Abstract:

English Partnerships has the power to authorize development a long time following the expiry of time limits within which planning permissions must be implemented. This power is being used in circumstances that seem to be going against government policy guidance. English Partnerships is not publicly accountable for its planning decisions, but is still functioning as a planning authority. It is now time to find ways of restricting English Partnerships' temptation to abuse its powers.

Article Abstract:

There are problems with the interpretation of the UK's Circular 1/97 'Planning obligations.' The Circular does not always give the required guidance for local authorities to apply the tests of appropriateness in a fair and similar way across the UK. The guidelines present general aims, but the interpretation of the tests are being implemented inconsistently among local authorities. Areas of uncertainty include what should and should not be involved in a section 106 agreement.

The management of residential property is becoming more problematical due to legislation.

These residential service charge provisions are mainly detailed within sections 81-96 of the 1996 Act, and subsequently section 85 amended section 24 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987. Section 83 is reviewed in some detail.
