Article 14 Direction
An Article 14 Direction (as it was formerly called) was, in British planning law, a directive issued by the British Government which prevented a Local Planning Authority granting planning permission for a specific proposal. It had no time limit, so remained in force until explicitly lifted. It was typically used to allow a regional government office more time to consider proposals. Such a direction was made under article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order 1995 (SI 1995/419). It was subsequently called an Article 25 Direction in England, and was made in that country under article 25 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) Order 2010 (SI 2010/ 2184). It is now called an Article 31 Direction in England, and is made that country under article 31 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (SI 2015/595). In Wales, it is made under article 18 of Town and Country Planning (Develo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Planning Permission
Planning permission or developmental approval refers to the approval needed for construction or expansion (including significant renovation), and sometimes for demolition, in some jurisdictions. It is usually given in the form of a building permit (or construction permit). House building permits, for example, are subject to Building codes. There is also a "plan check" (PLCK) to check compliance with plans for the area, if any. For example, one cannot obtain permission to build a nightclub in an area where it is inappropriate such as a high-density suburb. The criteria for planning permission are a part of urban planning and construction law, and are usually managed by town planners employed by local governments. Failure to obtain a permit can result in fines, penalties, and demolition of unauthorized construction if it cannot be made to meet code. Generally, the new construction must be inspected during construction and after completion to ensure compliance with national, ...

Town And Country Planning In The United Kingdom
Town and country planning in the United Kingdom is the part of English land law which concerns land use planning. Its goal is to ensure sustainable economic development and a better environment. Each country of the United Kingdom has its own planning system that is responsible for town and country planning, which outside of England is devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly, the Scottish Parliament and the Senedd. History The roots of the UK town and country planning system as it emerged in the immediate post-war years lay in concerns developed over the previous half century in response to industrialisation and urbanisation. The particular concerns were pollution, urban sprawl, and ribbon development. These concerns were expressed through the work of thinkers such as Ebenezer Howard and the philanthropic actions of industrialists such as the Lever Brothers and the Cadbury family, and architects such as Raymond Unwin, PRIBA, and Patrick Abercrombie.
