1. Introduction

The Government published its Green Paper "Planning: Delivering a Fundamental Change" on 12 December 2001. It has three associated daughter documents covering major infrastructure projects, planning obligations (known as Section 106 agreements) and compulsory purchase orders.

The Green Paper's intention is for a faster, fairer planning system with community interest at heart.

DTLR is seeking comments by 18 March 2002.

This document, prepared by FaberMaunsell in association with ERM and ECOTEC, represents CfIT's response to the Green Paper.
