The UK Planning Framework and the role of Planning Support within it

This is a broad module, which provides a history of town planning and support staff in the UK and outlines the issues facing the planning system and support staff in the future. Its aim is to provide an overview of planning and the planning system and to develop awareness of the environment and parameters within which planning support has to operate. The module is designed to help participants consider such issues as: what is meant by planning support; what are the "administrative" and "technical" functions of a planning department; and what do support staff need to fulfil their role.
