The Town

The town and country planning system has been identified to be one of the key instruments in delivering land use and development objectives that are compatible with the aims of sustainable development. Several areas of actions should therefore be considered in the local planning strategy to achieve a more radical approach to environmental sustainability. These include conservation, shaping the locational pattern of development and accommodating environmentally desirable qualities in all development. This paper considers how far local planning authorities through their development control powers are likely to fulfill this role. Drawing on the content analysis of local plans, this paper identifies the framework for development control particularly on envrionmental matter. It also examines the conditions that accompanied a planning approval to determine the extent of control pertaining to environmental aspects. The results indicate the lack of consideration given to environmental related matters compared to the traditional concerns of land use planning. Finally the paper discusses the constraint of the present system and prospects to facilitate better management.

Planning Discourse

This paper contributes to the growing body of work on planning discourse. In the context of the current ‘greening’ of British land-use planning, it poses the question: “How is the term ‘environment’ articulated within planning discourse?” With the use of material from development plans and development-control decision letters, an analysis is made of the term ‘environment’ which distinguishes ‘mundane’ and ‘sublime’ interpretations. The function of the texts analysed is then related to the dominant meaning given to the term, This raises further questions concerning the current preoccupation with using the land-use planning system to implement environmental policy and identifies the problems of moving between strategic planning and detailed development-control levels, a problem reflected in and compounded by the distinct operation of planning discourse at the two levels.

AbstractStrategic land use planning in Lothian Region is administered by Lothian Regional Council while the four District Councils and the New Town Development Corporation deal with local planning issues. Lothian Regional Council's Structure Plan interprets government guidelines setting out the strategic guidance for the development of the Region which is reflected in Local Plans.The paper describes the geological input into the land-use planning system at both strategic and local levels in relation to the stability of land and minerals required by the extractive industries.

Humanity is facing a series of critical challenges, global warming being one the most important. Consequently, sustainability and resilience have become key elements in better response to the crisis and maintaining an equilibrium between ecology, economics, and various social domains. The design and use of urban land should consider including a multi-functional green infrastructure to obtain different benefits, from ecosystem services to value creation. Additionally, the urban land-use planning system contributes to economic growth, social development and environmental sustainability, while biodiversity can provide renewal and reorganization capacities for changes in the social-ecosystems. All these elements bring forth a different paradigm for the future decisions of communities. Paper seeks to synthesize Keywords: Resilience, sustainability, urban land use.

The design and use of urban land should consider the inclusion of a multi-functional green infrastructure to obtain different benefits, from ecosystem services to value creation. Additionally, the urban land-use planning system contributes to economic growth, social development, and environmental sustainability, while biodiversity is able to provide renewal and reorganization capacities for changes in social-ecosystems. All these elements bring forth a different paradigm for the future decisions of communities.

British Planning

Planning permission is required for the carrying out of any development of land. The aim of this report is to understand the concept and procedure of development control law and identify what forms of development require a grant of planning permission, and which do not. It begins with setting out relevant facts of the case. Then it focuses on analyzing the lawfulness of the various activities on the land separately. At the same time, it is necessary to develop the understanding of intensification and the planning unit, since a material change of the use of a building or other land can occur through them. It is also important to explain the purpose of a planning contravention notice, the enforcement powers and procedure of the Local Planning Authority (LPA) to my client. Finally, it will presents what further actions may be taken by the LPA according to the relevant legislation and case law in the end of the report, such as issue an enforcement notice or a stop notice and, in particular, take enforcement action and so on.

Land Use Policies

Forest land use planning in Alberta takes place within the provincial Integrated Resource Planning system. The Alberta Forest Service is a major participant in this system as it is the primary resource management agency for Alberta's forested land. Several provincial land use policies direct forest-related land use, including the White and Green Areas, established in 1948, and the Eastern Slopes Policy adopted in 1977. More detailed and site specific resource management is guided through subregional and local planning. In total, these planning mechanisms provide for the comprehensive and integrated management of Alberta's forested land. Key words: Forest land use planning, integrated planning, planning in Alberta, resource management.

Land use planning in Malaysia as regulated by the Town and Country Planning Act 1976 ("Act 172") vests in the local authorities' wide powers and responsibility for managing and carrying on the daily adininistration of land use planning decision making and developrnent control regime. This article examines the powers of the local authority in regulating land planning and development control and the power of the courts in exercising control over the exercise of the discretionary powers of the local authority.

Policy Guidance

This paper looks at the issue of archaeological remains as a constraint to development within the modern land-use planning system. It examines the application of current national policy guidance found in Planning Policy Guidance Notes PPG15 and PPG16. It also discusses a number of issues raised by the current practices of professional archaeologists (and architectural historians involved with archaeological issues) within the development control process. It concludes that their increased professional involvement requires, in turn, a greater responsibility by those individuals, as expert witnesses, to ensure not only for the content of their letters and written reports but also for the consequences of their recommendations, which all have increasing significance, legally as well as commercially. Furthermore, if quality and reasonableness are to be maintained in balance then the relevant professional bodies will need to review, more carefully, their professional practices and responsibilities.
