- A Practical Approach to Planning Law
8th Edition. Victor Moore. Oxford University Press 05 Sep 2002 . ISBN 0199255954 . £28.95
SUMMARY:
Despite repeated attempts in recent years to simplify the planning system, planning law has continued to be so complex that practitioners and students alike have found it difficult to disentangle the complicated issues and principles involved. This text is a clearly-written and accessible book which aims to remove the mystery that planning law has for many people.
This new edition considers many of the more important cases that have been decided since 2000, in particular the key cases brought under the Human Rights Act, including: The Alconbury Decisions; R. (Kathrow) v Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council; R (On the application of Vetterlein) v Hampshire County Council and Hampshire Waste Services Ltd; Lafarge Redland Aggregates Ltd; South Bucks District Council v Porter; R (Adlard and Others) v Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions.
- A Guide to Risk Assessment and Risk Management for Environmental Protection
DoE. HMSO 1995. ISBN 0-11-753091-3. £13.95.
SUMMARY:
Because we depend on the environment and the health of the ecosystem, and because we are still learning about the complex inter-relationships that maintain its functions, it is necessary to take particular care about possible harm to the environment and ecosystems. This guide is about assessing and managing risks, particularly environmental risks, in a systematic way as a contribution to the UK's sustainable development strategy, attempting to explore some of the underlying principles. The book is intended for the generalist reader who is interested in the subject without wanting a full-blown textbook, and for policy makers and managers who need to ensure they can set guidelines for a risk assessment and can critically appraise what is presented to them.
CONTENTS:
Introduction and definitions
- why carry out an environmental risk assessment?
- the five stages leading up to risk estimation
- risk assessment, iterating the process, and risk management
- the precautionary principle and sustainable development

SUMMARY:
At the "Earth Summit" held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 the UK Prime Minister and over 150 other heads of state or government committed their countries to working towards national strategies for the protection of our local, national and global environment. The four UK official strategies were published simultaneously: "Sustainable development", "Biodiversity", "Climate Change" and "Sustainable Forestry". They should be of interest to everyone concerned with or involved in the future of our environment throughout the world.
No organization lives in isolation from other living things and each has its own way of life which contributes to the healthy balance of nature. This plan commits the UK government to an action plan to halt the loss of animal and plant species and essential genetic resources. How organizations and committed individuals implement this plan will influence our future natural heritage. In the end whether our country is richer or poorer in species and habitats depends on all of us.

- Climate Change - The UK Programme
Cm 2427. HMSO 1994. ISBN 0-10-124272-7. £10.00.
SUMMARY:
At the "Earth Summit" held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 the UK Prime Minister and over 150 other heads of state or government committed their countries to working towards national strategies for the protection of our local, national and global environment. The four UK official strategies were published simultaneously: "Sustainable development", "Biodiversity", "Climate Change" and "Sustainable Forestry". They should be of interest to everyone concerned with or involved in the future of our environment throughout the world.
The threat of climate change is sufficiently great to require action now. The UK has therefore prepared a detailed programme designed to achieve a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by the year 2000. This document also lays out measures to fulfil other commitments from the Climate Change Convention, including assistance to developing countries, protection and enhancement of carbon sinks, research and the promotion of public awareness.

- Planning for rural diversification
Author: Martin Elson Department of the Environment - Publisher: The Stationery Office Books Binding: Paperback ISBN: 0117531626 List price: £ 30.00
Summary:<
The contemporary countryside of England and Wales presents a picture of diversity and change. Rural areas have experienced a growth in population and an expansion of new small firms, attracted by environmental, labour and lifestyle factors.
Aimed at local authorities, this research document attempts to establish the extent to which local planning authorities are implementing Planning Policy Guidance Note 7, which contains policies for diversification of the rural economy, in the councils' development plans and development control decisions. It also attempts to establish the reasons why the policies are not being fully implemented where this is so, and to recommend measures to overcome any further obstacles to complete implementation.

SUMMARY:
The enduring character of England is most clearly to be found in the countryside. Yet the pace of change has increased and much of what we most value about the rural scene seems threatened by increasing mobility, the pressures of leisure and recreation, the decline of jobs in rural industries and the demands for new jobs in businesses which once would have been found only in the towns. This White Paper is about a living and working countryside, recognizing the stresses and strains of widespread change, and looking at the qualities whose preservation is a continuing commitment in a country which values the rural way of life.

- Sustainable Development - The UK Strategy
Cm2426. HMSO 1994. ISBN 0-10-124262-X. £22.00.
SUMMARY:
At the "Earth Summit" held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 the UK Prime Minister and over 150 other heads of state or government committed their countries to working towards national strategies for the protection of our local, national and global environment. The four UK official strategies were published simultaneously: "Sustainable development", "Biodiversity", "Climate Change" and "Sustainable Forestry". They should be of interest to everyone concerned with or involved in the future of our environment throughout the world.
Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It tries to reconcile these two objectives, and does not necessarily mean having less economic development. The UK strategy looks ahead to the year 2014 at current trends and emerging problems, and it examines new arrangements and processes for carrying forward sustainable development in the different sectors of society in the future.

SUMMARY:
A combination of new and existing demands of waste management planning has led to a divergence of methods by which it may be put into practice. Management is an essential part of waste regulation, and provides the framework for decision-making which optimizes both environmental protection and costs.
This guide marks a change in the concept of waste management planning. It sets out the issues in waste managemnt planning, suggests how they should be addressed, and provides an initial framework for best practice within which the environment agency can operate.
