Every year, thousands of homeowners apply for planning permission and come away battered and bruised. As a council case officer, Martin Gaine was part of the problem, continuously rejecting applications from poorly prepared applicants. Seeing that they were getting a raw deal, he founded Just Planning, a consultancy dedicated to helping homeowners to beat the planners. How to Get Planning Permission is a lively and accessible guide for homeowners. Full of practical detail and real-life case studies, its 6-step programme explains how to: - choose the right designer - exploit Permitted Development rights (where permission is not required at all) - understand how planning decisions are really made - apply tactically and effectively - deal with a refusal - avoid the agony of enforcement Martin explains how to decide, in the first instance, what kind of extension you really need (size isn’t everything) and how to get the best professional advice. He describes the planning decision making process – how to understand, apply and overcome planning policies, how to manage neighbour objections and how to build rapport with your case officer. A refusal of planning permission is not the end of the road – this book shows that it can be a constructive part of the planning journey and some permissions will only ever be secured at appeal. Planning is not a fair fight, but with the professional insight, advice and strategies Martin lays out in How to Get Planning Permission you can stack the odds in your favour.

A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work.

Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.
