Discusses the efficacy of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 in reforming the planning system to make it fairer, faster and more efficient. Looks at the effect the Act has had on development plans, and development control provisions such as temporary stop notices, SoS provisions, correction of errors and compulsory purchase. Continues with a look at future changes in local development orders, outline planning permissions, duration of planning permissions, planning obligations, twin tracking, mezzanines, the end to Crown immunity, the standard application form and major planning applications. Concludes that although the reforms are aimed at improving the efficiency of the planning system, some consider the changes impose further burdens on under-resourced local authority planning departments.
