How to Interpret Planning Documents - Practical Insights & Key Principles

Introduction

What planning documents mean is of critical importance to developers who are relying on them to authorise development, local authorities who are responsible for ensuring that commitments are adhered to and communities who will be impacted by development proposals.

There is now a body of case law that guides the approach to the interpretation of a range of planning documents. This virtual classroom seminar will review the principles that can be derived from these decisions.

This session will include practical insights into how to interpret planning documents in the light of case law.
