• A Practical Approach to Planning Law
  Victor Moore - Oxford University Press - 2007 - ISBN 0199532117 - £39.99
  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. The tenth edition of Victor Moore's popular and accessible book aims to remove the mystery and difficulty which planning law presents to so many people. This new edition contains expanded coverage of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, exploring the implementation of what is arguably the most significant planning legislation since the present system of planning control was introduced by the Town and Country Planning Act 1947. The Act replaced much of the old planning regime, giving central government a larger say over planning decisions. In particular, in place of the development plan system that was in place, it introduced the concept of a Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) for each region in the country and Development Plan Documents. This means that local planning authorities will be denied the opportunity they may once have had to avoid complying with central government targets (e.g. those aimed at new house building in their area). Regional Planning Bodies are charged with keeping the RSS under review and to ensure compliance with its terms. The book includes the most important cases that have occurred since the publication of the ninth edition in 2005, and in particular the cases decided under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The book also considers the impact that the Human Rights Act 1998 has had on overall planning strategy as well as on local development plans, including those decisions based on Article 8 (Right to Respect for Privacy and Family Life). It also looks forward to the changes to the planning system suggested in the White Paper, Planning for a Sustainable Future.
• A Guide to Risk Assessment and Risk Management for Environmental Protection
  DoE - HMSO 1995 - ISBN 0117530913 - £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.

• Human Rights Approaches to Environmental Protection
  Alan E. Boyle, Michael R Anderson - Clarendon Press 1998 - ISBN 0198267894 - £30.50
  Summary This collection of essays explores links between the environment and human rights, and responds to the growing debate among activists, lawyers, academics and policy-makers on the legal status of environmental rights in both international and domestic law, and on the proposals for a human right to a satisfactory environment. The collection is an original and timely contribution to the existing literature on this subject, and offers a sustained analysis which addresses both the conceptual and practical problems of environmental rights. The conceptual dimensions are particularly rich, raising fundamental questions concerning the human/environment relationship as well as more general issues regarding the form, content and limitations of international and domestic human rights law. The first part of the book deals mainly with the protection of the environment in international human rights law and EC law, while part two concentrates on problems and experience in developing countries, some of which have already incorporated environmental rights and international constitutional law and from which a growing jurisprudence has emerged. This is where at present human rights approaches seem to be of greatest value. Each chapter is written by an author well qualified in the field. The volume will have a wide appeal to anyone interested in environmental law and human rights.

• Textbook on Administrative Law
  Authors: Peter Leyland and Gordon Anthony
  Publisher: Oxford University Press
  ISBN: 0199217769 Pub Date: Oct 2008 List price: £26.99
  The sixth edition of Textbook on Administrative Law has been substantially rewritten to provide a concise and topical account of this fast-moving area of law. The guiding theme for this acclaimed textbook is how accountability is achieved through a 'grievance chain' comprising Parliament, informal methods of dispute resolution, ombudsmen, tribunals, and particularly, by the courts through judicial review. This edition remains as accessible as ever, fully exploring the core areas of the subject and setting them in a contextual framework. In addition to wide-spread recognition as an invaluable core text for LLB and CPE students, Leyland and Anthony is a stimulating introduction to administrative law for postgraduates and for non-law undergraduates with an interest in the field.
