Planning's a pretty topical media subject at the moment, with the reform of national planning guidance being hailed as a developers charter and the planning system declared as an overweight ball of red tape that ties its users in knots and generally gets in the way of all that's good about development for our economy.
Clearly miffed at some of some of the negative press its Members have been getting, The Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) has instigated a campaign to dispel some of the more prevalent planning myths:
- The default response to a planning application is a resounding 'no';
- Planning is slow
- Planning is costly;
- The planning system is a drag on economic growth
- It forces house prices up
If any of this sounds familiar or touches a nerve, you might want to take a minute to check out the RTPI's website for the full story. Planning myth? You decide:
