Giving direct attention to the physical impact of climate change and setting out the land use planning dimension of climate in the UK, this report identifies the direct effects of climate change on the natural and human environment and investigates the preventative and adaptive policies likely for adoption in response.
Belief that the function of planning is to balance economic and environmental costs and benefits in the public interest is the central hypothesis underlying this report. The effectiveness of planning is regarded as the extent to which planning aims are translated successfully into development which takes place or is prevented. This study, ...
Permitted Development Rights (PDRs) are general permissions given in advance for certain defined classes of development, which remove the need to apply for specific planning permission.

Aimed at local authorities, this research document attempts to establish the extent to which local planning ...
