Each of the jurisdictions within the United Kingdom is constantly
refining the operational characteristics of its planning system and
while there are some common practices, there are also substantive
divergences. In each territory the planning template is shaped within a
dynamic political and legal context and thus students and practitioners
require an accessible, in-depth and up-to-date literature dealing with
this matter. The multi-disciplinary contributors to this expanded Second
Edition of Planning Law and Practice in Northern Ireland explore the
progression of planning within the region and discuss prominent facets
of contemporary development management, development plans, environmental
law, property law and professional practice. Consideration is given to
the consequences of Brexit for planning in Northern Ireland, devolved
government institutional structures for planning, and the post-2015
emergent performance of local authorities in this arena. The book makes
an important contribution to the wider literature in this field and,
with its extensive citing of statutes and cases, provides an essential
resource for students, planning practitioners and researchers.
