Planning affects how an economy develops; where and how we live; how we travel; and how communities sustain their identity. It can influence how we protect our environment, reduce our carbon footprint and make more efficient use of natural resources. Legislation varies from country to country but common to most are a framework of plans or policies which set out a strategy, and design or building codes which seek to shape the character of individual developments.
Where plans and policies are in place, a mechanism to judged proposals against established objectives exists. Decisions may be made by local officials, community leaders or politicians or may require the approval of regional or national governments, dependent on the type of development proposed and its location. |

Planning issues vary just as widely. The impact of new homes, shops and schools on a local neighbourhood can often be more important to individuals than major development projects such as roads, airports and powerstations. The impact on microenvironments or those which arise from the redevelopment in existing communities can be as important as the benefits of development to economic growth and social development. Many nations have embraced the need to assess environmental impact before giving consent to major projects. To do so, detailed regulatory procedures have been put in place to ensure consistency in the way impacts are measured. |
