Summary:

"This book deals with the major changes in the planning system which have occurred in recent years and provides an analysis of the relationship between the legal framework and the new administrative methods that have been developed to implement these changes ... The book has three major functions. First, it provides a detailed explanation of the major changes in the planning system ... Second, the book analyses the ways in which administrative units accommodate the changes in approach and this analysis forms the basis of the study of the public examination procedures which were developed by central government to review the new structure plans ... Finally, the book looks at the lessons that can be learned from so much expenditure of intellectual and administrative energy in reforming planning law; the author argues that it is futile to initiate reforms that only tamper with the existing system ..."--Back cover
