The IHBC has submitted its evidence in the Communities and Local Government (CLG) Committee inquiry into key conclusions of the review of government planning practice guidance, the ‘Taylor Review’.
The IHBC writes:
1.In principle we support the proposal to replace Government planning guidance with a single structured on-line resource.
2. We also support the proposal to leave ‘best practice guidance’ to specialist bodies with the proviso set out in the Review that this would be signposted from the new on-line Resource.
3. We think best practice guidance needs proper recognition as such as it would carry little weight in planning cases without this. We would hope that ‘signposting’ would do more than just imply this. It is important, particularly in appeal and other high profile cases that the planning profession understands exactly what is reckoned to be “best practice” on a given topic.
