New planning units, new chapters in planning history and inconsistent permissions - 2009 - Journal of Planning and Environment Law (2), 161-173(13) .

Article looks at planning permission and development control in light of recent legislative history. Discusses 'new planning units' and their interaction with existing rights. Also looks at perceived inconsistencies in the handling of planning cases by the courts. The authors posit that the statutory planning code has attained a high degree of sophistication that is not suited to its purpose and suggest a return to clearly defined rules and principles contained in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
