The Barbour Consolidated Planning module contains legislation and guidance on town planning and land use, providing everything you need to help you get to grips with the complex planning system.

We guide you through all the legislation that underpins the planning system in England and Wales. We consolidate it by combining all changes, amendments and revocations into a single document so you can easily see the law as it stands today. We also highlight any changes so that you don’t miss a thing. This is accompanied by simplified and plain-English summaries that tell you what it all means to help you understand what you need to do.

Understand the town planning process, ensure developments are done correctly from the very beginning, and potentially avoid costly planning enforcements and project delays.
