A winter's tale
Edwards, Martin
A winter's tale - 2008 - Estates Gazette (0836) 13 September 2008, 138-139(2) .
Article considers the complexities of the planning system during an economic downturn and advises against being too focused on previous downturns. Suggests that 'perceived wisdom' should be discounted, instead considering each case on its individual merits. The author also points out that the current period of economic flux may last for two or more years and that sitting on land with planning permission is not an option, as it is only granted for three year periods under Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. Closes by positing that emerging core strategies may hinder future development plans, leading to an increase in delays and disputes and suggests vigilance on the part of developers to ensure that opportunities are not lost for key sites.
