Brief description
The legal and planning frameworks play a critical role in shaping the fabric of the countryside. Students need to understand how the legal and planning systems have developed and operate, and how various tools and instruments can be utilised to secure agreed objectives.
The module traces the conceptual development of planning and law and examines the key players and processes involved in implementation and enforcement with particular emphasis on countryside access and amenity. The practical applications of law and planning are applied to a range of different countryside situations.
