Our specialist Planning and Environment Group includes planning consultants and lawyers, and provides a complete range of planning services. We are one of the largest planning consultancies in the South East.

In this edition of our eBulletin, we look at recent news and changes in legislation. 

Of particular interest is the publication of the Conservative Party’s Green Paper, which sets our their vision for the planning system, including some radical reforms. Our other articles look at rural affordable housing, the Code for Sustainable Homes, and the recently published PPS4: Planning for Sustainable Economic Growth.

We hope that you find the articles in this eBulletin of interest. Please let us know if there are any other areas of interest which you would like to be covered in future editions.

Kind regards
