TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1990
The Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as amended by the Planning and Compensation Act 1991, sets out the framework for planning law in England and Wales.
The general requirement is for planning permission to be obtained from the local authority planning department before development can take place. Developers must apply for planning permission. Applications for planning permission should be made on the appropriate forms and those neighbouring the proposed development should have been informed.
Permission is considered in the context of the local authorities development plans. This may be approved unconditionally, approved with conditions or refused by the local authority. Plans of County Councils, Local Plans of District Councils, and Unitary Development Plans of Unitary Councils.
Environmental issues can be material considerations that are taken into account when deciding on the granting of permission. For example, issues such as nature conservation and habitat protection (e.g. aspects covered by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981). Planning Policy Statement 23: Planning and Pollution Control sets out the Government's objectives for pollution control through the planning system in England.
The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 have amended the definition of waste in this Act bringing it into line with the revised Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC).
