Current planning policy is driven by the Planning Acts and a large variety of regulations, Planning Policy Guidance and Statements, Government Circulars, Best Practice Guidance and a substantial body of case law and precedent. European legislation also plays a large role in today’s system With our wealth of experience, we understand and can navigate the complexities of this legislative framework on your behalf and advise you on the best route to take.
