In contrast to Dutch planning law, English planning law recognises the dynamic relationship between the development process and the planning process. By emphasising policy and plans rather than plans and regulations, and by deliberately creating the two-stage process whereby discretion is allowed in the interpretation of development plans at the development control stage, it appears to give backing for the informal, flexible, opportunistic, pragmatic process of operational decision making. By not requiring planners to follow the lines set out in the development plan strictly, the stress appears less but that does not mean the English planning system does not have problems. |
