| Planning for Biodiversity and Geological Conservation: A Guide to Good Practice | 31 March 2006 | Planning for Biodiversity and Geological Conservation: A Guide to Good Practice - This Guide complements PPS9 and Circular 06/05 below and provides good practice guidance on ways that regional planning bodies and local planning authorities can help deliver the national policies in PPS9 and comply with legal requirements set out in the Circular. |
| Circular 06/05 | 16 August 2005 | Circular 06/05: Biodiversity and Geographical Conservation - Statutory Obligations and Their Impact Within the Planning System - This Circular provides administrative guidance on the application of the law relating to planning and nature conservation as it applies in England. It complements the expression of national planning policy in PPS9 and the accompanying Planning for Biodiversity and Geological Conservation: A Guide to Good Practice. Although this Circular outlines how statutory obligations impact within the planning system, in some cases the legislation will have an equal bearing on other regimes eg Transport and Works Act 1992. This Circular should be read in conjunction with PPS9 and the Good Practice Guide. |
