The book cuts through the jargon and technicalities of planning to help you both understand and manage the process.  After helping you decide if you need planning permission at all, it takes you through each stage of the planning application routine. Packed with valuable advice and insider tips, it includes sample letters, forms and plans.  This is the 5th edition of this title and it’s grown to include not just new homes, but extensions, conversions and change of use. It will also be of use to those who seek to challenge unwelcome planning applications in their own neighbourhoods.
