2009

The Killian Pretty Review published in November 2008 details 17 recommendations for improving the planning application process. The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) has recently published a "Government Response to the Killian Pretty Review", which comments on the Review and outlines a broad action plan to implement the recommendations. While the original Review and subsequent government response are primarily concerned with the planning application process in detail, a number of issues relating to consultation and community engagement within this process have been raised. This briefing note deals primarily with these issues.
