With England and Wales undergoing a construction boom of late, and small to medium enterprises growing year on year, a range of land use and planning issues involving procuring new accommodation, brownfield vs greenfield sites, dealing with contaminated land issues and the necessary steps needed to gain planning permission, are occupying a great deal of time for the small to medium sized company seeking to expand.

It shows why the system works as it does and how planning officers, councillors and other officials can help people use it constructively.
