    • application of 1954 Act (including contracting out)
    • renewal lease by the tenant

Core principles of planning law in England and Wales

Statutory definition of “Development”

Matters that do and do not constitute “Development”

Matters that do not require express planning permission

Enforcement: time limits and the range of local planning authority’s enforcement powers

We will finish by practising MCQs on what we have covered.
