The Planning System that Operates in England On researching the planning system that operates in England, it is evident that it is a very complex structure. This planning system is currently going through radical reform, with the government promoting the benefits that this will bring. However, many activist groups are sceptical and openly object to the new structural reforms. 'The planning system is effectively becoming a three tier system, operating at a central government, a regional and a local level', (College of Estate Management). At central government level planning issues are dealt with by the government office, with the Secretary of State, Department of Transport, Local Government and the Regions (DTLR) presiding. For most matters, powers are left in the hands of the local councils, with day-to-day planning control sanctioned by the district or unitary councils, the Local Planning Authorities (LPA). The Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the subsequent Planning and Compensation Act 1991 contain details of how the planning system should operate in England, (plan led). Development plans are at the heart of the system; these plans aim to give a measure of certainty and predictability. Development plans, reviewed typically every five to ten years, inform developers and residents how the LPA sees its area changing or not within that period. Although intended to have a degree of permanence, the plan can be amended or schemes, which do not accord with it, approved. Section 54A of the 1990 Act requires that, 'where the development plan contains relevant policies, applications for development, which is in accordance with... ... middle of paper ... ...elopment Agencies (RDAs) http://www.parliament.uk 2.

London has a vast history which talks about major 8 time periods. This will help in identifying the areas which triggered the urban transformation.
1.Describe the Virginia and New Jersey Plans for Government and explain how the Connecticut Compromise (Great Compromise) solved the problem and allowed the Constitution to be agreed upon.
The first government policy introduced in 1947 was industrial development certificates. This policy stated where a business should locate. The advantage of this policy is that the business will earn a good profit; also there are more opportunities for those that are unemployed or those that were made redundant. Also businesses are required to pay business rates which are then given to the council it will mean more money for the council; with this money they could use it effectively within their borough. The disadvantage is that they don’t have a choice whether to locate or not and must comply with the government.

While much of recent discussions of housing affordability in England have been dominated by the rapidly increasing house prices in London, there is an arguably more acute housing affordability crisis in rural England. ‘Rural England’, characterized by Gallent as areas with fewer than 1000 inhabitants per 20 hectares (Gallent et al. 2003), has long had an undersupply of housing, particularly affordable housing, at the same time as a rising demand. This crisis is one in need of urgent repair as it continues to harm the rural communities in which it exists. Rural England faces a myriad of issues, including lack of skilled labour and lack of convenience in accessing necessities such as healthcare and food and retail stores. The rural housing affordability crisis in rural England is interlinked with the other issues it faces. The crisis is a complex and far-reaching issue with many past and present drivers and an irrefutable link to the planning system. This essay will first outline the scope and key drivers of this crisis and will then analyse and gauge the effectiveness of planning in addressing the issue.
In this article, the author writes about the Urban Renewal Plan and what it did to a community in Oakland, California. The West Oakland community was found in 1852 and had a diverse population living there. That article says that upper-class people would be living next door to working class people. After the World Wars that changed because lower income families started moving to the area looking for jobs. The jobs they had were created because of the war. When the war ended these people lost their jobs. At the same time, the Urban Renewal Plan was put into place. This plan set out to remove slums in urban places. This plan would relocated families, demolish houses and create low-income housing. When a family was relocated they received little
I love to embrace curiosity, and learn alongside children. After reading the “more R’s to learn” section I realize I could really work in all of them, however, I would start with “Remember.” It is so easy to get caught up with the day-to-day activities, following schedules, getting stuff done, that we forget to stop and slow down. I am making it a challenge to work on one of the “R’s” a week. This week I will slow down and notice the children, and remember to acknowledge their
Planners as discussed in both the cases in a negative light in acting ethically in decisions that are directly related to one of most important aspects of American life: segregation. In both the cases, although there was obvious limitations to the way planners act, they are indeed at fault to varying degree.
Discuss how the tendency of New Public Management has impacted on decision making in UK public policy. New Public Management is generally used to describe a management culture that emphasises upon the citizen or customer as being central, as well as having accountability for results. It also suggests organizational structures and promotes decentralized control, many different types of service delivery mechanisms, including quasi-markets with public and private service providers competing for resources. New Public Management does not suggest that a government should stop performing certain tasks. Although the New Public Management often is associated with such a perspective on a policy level, New Public Management is not about whether tasks should be undertaken or not.
Whenever attempting to plan for any certain aspect of a city for development, it is very important to consider many of the attributes of urban planning. In order for a city to be successfully constructed, certain elements to the planning must be enacted. The General Plan for any given city is important to consider while in the process of constructing it because of all of the many revisions, alterations, and changes that the plan undergoes in order to lead to the final product. The municipality that is Tempe, Arizona is only one city of many that uses a General Plan in order to help understand their planning designs so that further construction may continue successfully and with little difficulty throughout the process.
The Government also set up programmes which would help these aims to be met, such as the Urban Development Corporations (e.g. LDDC London Docklands Development Corporation) and the availability of grants for urban development.
Planning is an essential process in today’s organizations. Based on the three types of managers: top-level (strategic managers), middle-level (tactical managers), and frontline (operational managers), exist three corresponding levels of planning: strategic, tactical, and operational. The purpose of this essay is to focus on the strategic level of planning for the Ford Motor Company; a leader in the global automobile industry. Strategic planning, according to Bateman and Snell (2009), “involves making decisions about the organization’s long-term goals and strategies” (p. 137). This paper will elaborate on six key influential factors: economic, environmental, competition, foreign policy, domestic policy, and innovation; that shape this corporation’s strategic plan. Finally, a SWOTT analysis will be conducted covering the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, and trends, that the Ford Motor Company has in relation to its business environment.
Planning is an approach towards the problem solving rationally. It can be taken as a remedial tool for creating change in the current situation in a systematic and efficient way. A problem in the planning profession will be The solution found by planners to varied situations in practice is very dependent on the certain criteria like social, economic, environmental, and political. The evaluation of a solution on these criteria defines the success of a solution. The new definition of the planning problems was given by Rittle and Webber in their path breaking article (Dilemmas in a General Theory of Planning).

Consulting the community will be a two way interaction where the intentions are to make the people well informed and understand about the development plan. Other than that, is to receive feedback and getting rough ideas on what the thing that the community really want to see in their neighbourhood. This stage is also important in advising the people that their input will influenced the decision making process at the end. Rather than the usual meeting where everyone sit behind the tab...
