Improving culture, arts and sporting opportunities through planning

‘Planning practice guide’ launched 19 June by Peter Aldous MP

Purpose of the document

“Guidance can never replace local judgement and the application of professional expertise – it can merely assist. Guidance can and should clarify the ‘ground rules’ for these processes, so there is clarity about approach, where evidence can be sourced, etc – but guidance should support the application of local skills and judgement, not automate them. Guidance also has a crucial role in helping identify what information is required in different circumstances.” Taylor Review of Planning Practice Guidance, December 2012
