86-596: The National Planning Policy Framework ( NPPF ) is a land-use planning policy in England. It was originally published by the UK's Department of Communities and Local Government in March 2012, consolidating over two dozen previously issued documents called Planning Policy Statements (PPS) and Planning Policy Guidance Notes (PPG) for use in England. It has since been revised in 2018, 2019, 2021 and twice in 2023. The live version

172-407: A combination of strategic and environmental planning. It is becoming more widely understood that any sector of land has a certain capacity for supporting human, animal, and vegetative life in harmony, and that upsetting this balance has dire consequences on the environment. Planners and citizens often take on an advocacy role during the planning process in an attempt to influence public policy. Since

258-494: A duty to consult the local community under s(4) part 6 of the Act and that the applicant has a duty to consult every person living in the vicinity of the land. Each English housing authority must have an "allocation scheme" for determining priorities. Reasonable preference should be given to groups such as the homeless and those living in unsanitary conditions but otherwise housing authorities may themselves decide whom to support and

344-422: A harmonious growth of the city. This tool is structured through a planning system at the national and local level, which establishes the general guidelines that should be taken into account for the development of urban development. Here, the authorities involved might formulate a number of restrictions to guarantee sustainability, for example, banning land development in riparian zones or in national parks. Basically,

430-498: A land use plan provides a vision for the future possibilities of development in neighborhoods, districts, cities, or any defined planning area. In the United States, the terms land use planning, regional planning , urban planning, and urban design are often used interchangeably, and will depend on the state, county, and/or project in question. Despite confusing nomenclature, the essential function of land use planning remains

516-609: A large reduction from the previous guidance of over 1,300 pages. Local planning authorities were given a 12-month transition period to ensure their plans were compliant with the new NPPF. A revised NPPF was published by the UK Government's Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government on 24 July 2018. This is the first revision of the National Planning Policy Framework since 2012. It implements around 85 reforms announced previously through

602-512: A local referendum. Suitable community organisations can obtain the rights to develop an area plan. A Neighbourhood Area , for which a Neighbourhood Plan may be developed, is an area designated by a local planning authority in response to an application from a parish council or from a neighbourhood forum in an unparished area. The Act specifies how planning decisions can be legally enforced and allows planning authorities to decline to process planning applications which include any region affected by

688-512: A planning enforcement notice. Nationally the Infrastructure Planning Commission is abolished and new powers put in place to cover national infrastructure projects. Chapter 4 of the Act carries a requirement to carry out "pre-application consultation" before applying for planning permission for the development of any land in England. This section also specifies that the person carrying the planning application has

774-509: A proposed supplement. In practice this prevented new BRS being proposed, as few rate-payers would voluntarily vote in favour of additional taxes. As a result, no new supplements have been introduced since 2011, despite authorities notionally having the power to do so. The only major scheme to have been funded from a Business Rate Supplement remains the CrossRail project in London, which imposed

860-487: A series of far reaching changes to Permitted Development rights and the Use Classes Order were introduced, effectively superseding a number of key NPPF provisions. The relevant statutory instruments were laid before parliament the day before the summer recess and were to come into force the day before parliament reconvened. On 27 August 2020, campaign group Rights: Community: Action applied for a judicial review of

946-488: A settlement, e.g. a city, while also determining the guidelines for its use in order to ensure effectiveness and sustainability. Land use, in this case, is assigned on the basis on its physical and functional characteristics that they have in the urban structure, and with the aim of occupying the space in an orderly manner and according to their physical capacity (occupation of areas suitable for urban development and environmental sustainability ), which finally it translates into

SECTION 10

1032-574: A wide range of subjects including Green Belt, Light Pollution, and Viability. The amount of guidance in circulation has grown significantly in recent years meaning the volume of government planning advice is similar to what existed prior to the introduction of the NPPF. Unlike the more infrequent changes to the NPPF, much of the most recent practice guidance has been issued without prior consultation or advance notification with new policy requirements increasingly being expressed through guidance updates. In 2020,

1118-489: Is a "taking". A deep-rooted anti-zoning sentiment exists in America, that no one has the right to tell another what he can or cannot do with his land. Ironically, although people are often averse to being told how to develop their own land, they tend to expect the government to intervene when a proposed land use is undesirable. Conventional zoning has not typically regarded the manner in which buildings relate to one another or

1204-482: Is a duty for interested parties to co-operate in the preparation of development plans. The Community Infrastructure Levy now includes the additional costs, besides infrastructure costs, that development places on an area and the money raised can be used to fund the improvement, replacement, operation or maintenance of infrastructure as well as its provision. The Act allows neighbourhood plans to be developed but to be adopted they have to pass both an inspection stage and

1290-613: Is being assessed. This section is concerned with administrative details, such as the date at which each section of the Act starts operating, how consultations should be carried out and the powers needed to make and amend the orders and regulations required by the Act. The first prosecution to take place under the Act was against Spencer Flower, former leader of Dorset County Council and also an East Dorset District Councillor , whose trial took place at Bournemouth Magistrates' Court (then in Stafford Road) on 30 March 2015. The charge

1376-427: Is defined as: the process by which optimum forms of land use and management are indicated, considering the biophysical, technological, social, economic and political conditions of a particular territory. The objective of planning land use is to influence, control or direct changes in the use of land so that it is dedicated to the most beneficial use and maintains the quality of the environment and promoting conservation of

1462-435: Is formed and therefore its functionality is defined. For this reason, there is a need to ensure sustainability in order to ensure the we continue to enjoy the benefits that come from urban planning and to ensure that future generations will continue enjoying these benefits. To guarantee this, land use planning come into the fold. In a broader sense, this is a tool through which State defines the type of use land will have within

1548-670: Is from December 2023. The NPPF pursues a pro-growth, neoliberal and deregulationist agenda. As well as sweeping away the 1997 – 2010 Labour government's top-down housing targets and regional planning strategies in conjunction with the Localism Act 2011 , the NPPF introduced a presumption in favour of sustainable development at the heart of the English planning system, which encourages local planning authorities to plan positively for new development, and approve all individual proposals wherever possible. The other core principles of

1634-421: Is likely to be considerable tension between the immediate-term impacts of the process of government deregulation in the NPPF and the medium-term impacts of another key government priority – its localism agenda as enshrined in the Localism Act of 2011 , which places much greater planning control in the hands of local communities. The NPPF is likely to encourage development through its streamlined planning system, but

1720-479: Is located in northern Italy. It is the second most populous city in the country after Rome with a population of over 4 million (The CBD and its metropolitan Boroughs). Every area in Milan is a segment that starts from the center and reaches the city limits, so that central areas and peripheral areas are part of the same area. In Milan, zones are not identified by names but numbers. The city hall area 1 of Milan includes

1806-408: Is no longer always relevant to those cities that are currently practicing land use planning. Localism Act 2011 The Localism Act 2011 (c. 20) is an Act of Parliament that changes the powers of local government in England . The aim of the act is to facilitate the devolution of decision-making powers from central government control to individuals and communities. The measures affected by

SECTION 20

1892-413: Is not limited by some other Act. Sections 27 to 36 deal with the standards expected of council members and with the keeping of public registers of interests. In an important change, it specifically empowers members to take part in a decision on a matter after previously having expressed views on it, without the risk the decision being invalid due to bias or predetermination . These sections give ministers

1978-402: Is the basis for land use planning authority in the United States. This authority is usually delegated by state governments to local governments, including counties and cities. It is these local governments that most frequently exercise police power in land use planning matters. The regulation of land use based on police power is distinct from the taking of private property by the government through

2064-465: Is the use of " traditional and local knowledge ," or TLK, or local, Indigenous, and place-bound ways of knowing. Categories of TLK include 1) knowledge about the environment, 2) knowledge about the current use of areas, 3) knowledge of management systems, 4) values associate with the environment (i.e., spirituality and culture). There is growing literature about how to effectively incorporate and represent TLK in land use and management plans. Police power

2150-529: Is to allow members of the nine zones to get easy access to the CBD. Effective measures have been put in place to limit the impact of human activities on the many water bodies in this city such as restricting land development in riparian areas. In fact, the drive for the establishment of the city on the land where it stands was easy accessibility to water. Land use planning is an important method for sustainable development for Indigenous communities. Indigenous peoples in

2236-577: Is to further the welfare of people and their communities by creating convenient, equitable, healthful, efficient, and attractive environments for present and future generations. Land-use planning in England and Wales is founded on the Town and Country Planning Act 1947 , with comparable legislation applicable in Scotland and Northern Ireland . Land use planning nearly always requires land use regulation, which typically encompasses zoning . Zoning regulates

2322-701: The Cornish unitary authority ." Talks took place in 2011 between the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and a cross party group, including the six Cornish MPs, as to how to bring about the devolution of powers to Cornwall. No progress was made, resulting in Mebyon Kernow relaunching its campaign for a Cornish Assembly in 2014. In November 2011, the Greater Manchester Combined Authority used

2408-546: The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the government from taking private property for public use without just compensation. The case of Dolan v. City of Tigard demonstrated the criteria that determine the threshold of what is considered taking. One interpretation of the taking clause is that any restriction on the development potential of land through zoning regulation

2494-499: The Localism Act of 2011 is equally likely to stall development through its commitment to local communities having a greater say in what is (and crucially is not) built in their neighbourhood, a process likely to block many developments. Friends of the Earth (FOE) has criticised the NPPF revisions for lack of environmental review, in that it makes it "virtually impossible" for councils to refuse fracking schemes, that it fails to address

2580-571: The Mayor of London to prepare and publish an "Economic development strategy for London” and "The London Environment Strategy". The section also allows the Mayor of London to create "Mayoral development corporations" whose object is to regenerate parts of London identified as "Mayoral development areas". This is concerned with changes to the "Land Compensation Act 1961" which mean that existing planning permissions can be taken into account when compensation

2666-541: The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government , Eric Pickles , and given its first reading on 13 December 2010. The Bill completed the third reading in the House of Lords on 31 October 2011. The bill received Royal Assent on 15 November 2011. The main section of the Act is split into ten parts (totalling 240 pages), and this is followed by 25 further schedules (an additional 243 pages). A short summary of

2752-462: The U.S. Department Of Transportation , and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2009 was intended to encourage sustainable land use planning. This partnership helps to ensure that federal housing projects, transportation, and other neighborhood infrastructure would help residents live closer to jobs, while also reducing pollution since there would be less commute time. Over the past decade, this federal partnership has funded 1,066 projects across

2838-625: The "CrossRail Supplement" in April 2010. This section is concerned with council tax and requires local authorities, fire authorities , and police and crime commissioners to conduct a local referendum if they wish to implement a council tax increase that is considered "excessive" according to a set of principles defined by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government . This section also creates new rights for charitable trusts, voluntary bodies and others to apply to councils and fire and rescue authorities to carry out services provided by

2924-552: The 1990s, the activist/environmentalist approach to planning has grown into the Smart Growth movement, characterized by the focus on more sustainable and less environmentally damaging forms of development. Moreover, there is changes on the requirements of land use planning overtime. For example, whilst most of the urban planners suggest the distance from the landfill that a housing estate should be built, they must also take wind direction into consideration Smart growth supports

3010-720: The 50 States, as well as Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. The total amount of grant money given to these projects has reached approximately $ 4.6 billion. Some of the programs that the partnership sponsors are the Housing and Urban Development's “Sustainable Communities Regional Planning” and “Community Challenge Grant Programs”. These programs have made important strides in sustainable urban planning, with about 40 percent of U.S. citizens now having access to communities who were awarded these grants. Both of these programs make up $ 240 million in federal investment towards local land use planning efforts. Various types of planning have emerged over

3096-438: The Act include an increase in the number of elected mayors , referendums and the "Local authority’s general power of competence " (Part 1, chapter 1) which states "A local authority has power to do anything that individuals generally may do". Although the act was envisaged as having the potential to bring about wide-scale decentralisation , there have been few significant examples of its implementation. One notable outcome of

The city hall area 7 goes from Porta Magenta to Baggio and Figino passing through San Siro. The town hall zone 8 goes from Porta Volta to Quarto Oggiaro, passing through QT8 and Gallaratese. And lastly, the town hall area 9 goes from Porta Nuova to Niguarda and Bovisa. The idea here,

3268-618: The Global South. Many of the assumptions about land use planning do not hold true elsewhere in the world, especially as developing nations face urbanization at a more rapid scale than most countries in the Global North. In India , for example, land use planning, specifically as it pertains to siting industries, has been incorporated into the nation's constitution, and is controlled by the State and Federal levels of government. Due to

The revised NPPF has since been updated on 19 February 2019 following a technical consultation to redefine deliverable housing. On 23 May 2019 the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government issued a Written Ministerial Statement to remove paragraph 209a from

3440-563: The Localism Act 2011 to seek provision for a further transfer of powers that would result in an additional devolution of authority from the UK's central government, enhancing its powers over transport and housing and granting it competencies to fund and control schemes on its own terms. However, further devolution required primary legislation and this was announced in November 2014. In 2013, Mayor of Hackney Jules Pipe criticised

3526-469: The NPPF was subsequently published on 25 July 2011 which raised a large number of responses and concerns from national organisations such as the National Trust . The final original version was published on 27 March 2012. Despite the pledge for a national policy of only fifty pages, the NPPF was released as a 65-page document, together with a 27-page Technical Guidance document, though this was still

3612-529: The United States and Canada often have fragmented or diminishing land bases with limited uses. Oftentimes, these land bases are also far from urban centers and with limited expansion ability. Since European settlers first began colonizing the American Continent, Indigenous peoples have lost 98.9% of their land, a Yale study found. The lands indigenous peoples were forced onto are facing current and future climate-change related risks. This fact leads to

3784-529: The act has been the combined authorities formed by local authorities pooling their powers of transport and economy and gaining certain functions delegated from central government. As a result, there have been calls for legislation to bring about further devolution to the Core Cities Group , leading to the introduction of the Cities and Local Government Devolution Act 2016 . The bill was introduced by

3870-538: The asset will be mitigated. Heritage Statements became compulsory in March 2010 when Planning Policy Statement (PPS) 5, Planning for the Historic Environment was published. This requirement was repeated within paragraph 128 of the NPPF. PPS5 was cancelled on 25 March 2015 and replaced with Historic Environment good practice advice. The potential negative impact of the NPPF on UK archaeology has been heavily debated, with archaeologists noting that there

3956-663: The community. A charrette is a facilitated planning workshop often used by professional planners to gather information from their clients and the public about the project at hand. Charettes involve a diverse set of stakeholders in the planning process, to ensure that the final plan comprehensively addresses the study area. Geographic information systems , or GIS, are very useful and important tools in land use planning. It uses aerial photography to show land parcels, topography, street names, and other pertinent information. GIS systems contain layers of graphic information and their relational databases that may be projected into maps that allow

4042-484: The conditions of support. People subject to immigration control cannot be supported. An authority's duty to homeless people, who are not intentionally homeless, now ceases if they refuse reasonable accommodation. The housing authorities must publish a "tenancy strategy" giving the types of tenancy provided, the circumstances under which they are granted, their length and the circumstances in which they may be extended. This section also includes many changes to tenancy law, to

4128-622: The council (the " Community Right to Challenge "), and allows lists to be compiled of Assets of Community Value such as shops, pubs and playing fields , which are privately owned, but which are of value to the community; if such assets are later sold, the Act makes it easier for local communities to bid for and take over the assets. The government at the time identified the Community Right to Challenge as an aspect of its approach to improving choice, access and accountability in public services . Regional Strategies are abolished but there

4214-411: The country. Professional planners work in the public sector for governmental and non-profit agencies, and in the private sector for businesses related to land, community, and economic development. Through research, design, and analysis of data, a planner's work is to create a plan for some aspect of a community. This process typically involves gathering public input to develop the vision and goals for

4300-421: The course of the 20th century. Below are the six main typologies of planning, as defined by David Walters in his book, Designing Communities (2007): Today, successful planning involves a balanced mix of analysis of the existing conditions and constraints; extensive public engagement; practical planning and design; and financially and politically feasible strategies for implementation. Current processes include

4386-402: The development of land within their jurisdictions. In doing so, the governmental unit can plan for the needs of the community while safeguarding natural resources. To this end, it is the systematic assessment of land and water potential, alternatives for land use, and economic and social conditions in order to select and adopt the best land use options. Often one element of a comprehensive plan ,

The town hall area 2 goes from Piazza della Repubblica to Crescenzago, Turro, Greco and Precotto. The town hall 3 goes from Porta Venezia to Lambrate, passing through Città Studi. The town hall area 4 goes from Porta Vittoria to the Forlanini park, also including Porta Romana, Corvetto and Santa Giulia. The town hall 5 goes from Porta Ticinese to

4558-512: The environment is protected during land use or land development. Indeed, based on the recommendations of the United Nations in its Habitat conference , land is assigned a high importance for the development of human life as it is the fundamental support for its permanence and development, this being the most important objective of the policy of human settlements. That is, the land resource is recognized as an essential element, which supports

4644-474: The examples discussed in this article were drawn from cities in the Global North , land use planning has been employed in cities all over the world. The Global North has traditionally been dominant in planning theory and practice. However, as the world continues to quickly urbanize, and the global population increases, most of the new global population growth is occurring in cities in the developing world, or

This section is concerned with changes to the Acts and regulations which affect the Greater London Authority . It abolishes the London Development Agency to be replaced by a subsidiary corporation ( GLA Land and Property ) and requires

4816-626: The framework are of a genuinely plan-led system, empowering local people to shape their surroundings, and seeking high quality design and standards. An outline of proposed reforms to the British planning system were published in a policy green paper by the Conservative Party in February 2010 prior to that year's general election . It included integrating the principal features of all national planning policies into one document to make

4902-405: The goal here is to protect the environment. Throughout the world, there are rising levels of environmental degradation due to unclean energy usage in the development and powering of cities and neighborhoods. In the 20th century, there was a global push to develop large cities quickly to accommodate the people who were migrating from rural areas to cities for jobs. The type of energy used for this

4988-459: The increasing discussions in the issues of climate change and global warming, the future of land use planning will be dominated by environmental sustainability themes more than economic convenience. Also, due to the fact that the world is quickly urbanizing, and this massive population growth is mostly occurring in cities in the Global South, some of the assumptions we have formed about land use planning must be reimagined, as common theory and practice

5074-447: The integration of mixed land uses into communities as a critical component of achieving better places to live. Putting uses in close proximity to one another has benefits for transportation alternatives to driving, security, community cohesiveness, local economies, and general quality of life issues. Smart growth strives to provide a means for communities to alter the planning context which currently renders mixed land uses illegal in most of

5160-436: The land resources. The territorial diagnosis and the generation of alternatives of management and environmental protection for the planning of the use of the land produces the indispensable knowledge necessary for the formulation of the policies of use, contributing to the search of competitive and sustainable productive and extractive activities and systems. The methodological process of land use planning contributes to: orienting

5246-445: The land under development. On the other hand, it seeks regulation and promotion of the location and sustainable development of human settlements, economic and social activities, and spatial physical development, based on the identification of potentialities and limitations that consider environmental, economic, sociocultural, institutional and geopolitical criteria. By and large, these parameters are put in place in order to make sure that

For this reason, the highlighted bodies have among other responsibilities the promotion of the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources, establishing policies, criteria, tools and procedures of

5418-473: The location of economic and social activities regarding the aptitude of the land and providing solutions to conflicts of use; indicate the base of natural resources that should remain and protected areas; point out the areas exposed to natural hazards and their management; identify sustainable productive and extractive activities and systems; guide the planning of land uses and indicate the areas that require land adaptation or recovery projects In most countries,

5504-530: The main points is available. Sections of the Act involving new regulations are straightforward but the Act also includes many detailed modifications of existing Acts, such as the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Planning Act 2008 . This is the major part of the Act, and the one which extends the power of all local authorities, from parish and community councils to county councils, to 'do anything that individuals generally may do', as long as that

5590-517: The many existing guidance documents clearer and more priority focused. Following the formation of the Coalition government , on 20 December 2010, the Minister for Decentralisation, Greg Clark MP, announced a review of planning policy, designed to consolidate all policy statements, circulars and guidance documents into a single, simpler National Planning Policy Framework. A consultation draft of

5676-403: The mid-twentieth century was, in part, created by a flat approach to land use regulations. Zoning without planning created unnecessarily exclusive zones. Thoughtless mapping of these zones over large areas was a big part of the recipe for suburban sprawl. It was from the deficiencies of this practice that land use planning developed, to envision the changes that development would cause and mitigate

5762-418: The most appropriate efficient and sustainable territorial order in coordination with any other relevant corresponding entities such as construction companies and the public. In view of sustainable development , land use planning is seen as a political and technical-administrative decision-making process agreed with social, economic, political and technical factors, for orderly occupation and sustainable use of

5848-401: The negative effects of such change. As America grew and sprawl was rampant, the much-loved America of the older towns, cities, or streetcar suburbs essentially became illegal through zoning. Unparalleled growth and unregulated development changed the look and feel of landscapes and communities. They strained commercial corridors and affected housing prices, causing citizens to fear a decline in

5934-779: The perpetuation of systematic inequity for Indigenous peoples, since livelihoods, preservation of culture and tradition, access to adequate housing, and access to resources are all factors that are deeply rooted in land. Many Indigenous groups are embracing land use planning to determine the future of their territories. In Canada, for example, the Dehcho First Nations have developed a land use plan that honors cultural traditions and Elders' knowledge, and incorporates conservation, development zones, and other categories. This plan, which has been extensively researched, can serve as an excellent model for other Indigenous Nations, and for cities and areas across North America. While most of

6020-499: The physical character of the land. This allows a community to plan for growth while preserving the natural and historical nature of their environment. Natural ecology and historical identity of the city are matched to its topography in the Urban Landscape System approach that intends to mitigate effects of climate change and improve city branding through the ontology of place. Another approach to land use planning

6106-447: The power of eminent domain. If the regulation of land use is done under the authority of the police power, the private property owner isn't typically entitled to compensation as they would be if property was taken under the power of eminent domain. The court decision in the case Commonwealth v. Alger was related to land use planning and dealt with the construction of a wharf on privately owned tidelands around Boston Harbor. Milan city

In 2018, FOE argued that as the United Kingdom was still part of the European Union , a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) was required as part of the revision of a public plan. Also in 2018, the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) raised concerns about the extreme streamlining of

6278-469: The public spaces around them, but rather has provided a pragmatic system for mapping jurisdictions according to permitted land use. This system, combined with the interstate highway system , widespread availability of mortgage loans , growth in the automobile industry, and the over-all post-World War II economic expansion , destroyed most of the character that gave distinctiveness to American cities. The urban sprawl that most US cities began to experience in

6364-418: The revised NPPF, indicating that it treated land as a commodity, rather than as a finite resource. CPRE said Planning is pointless if the outcomes it delivers would be little different from what would happen without a planning system. Publication of the NPPF has been followed by the release of a wide range of online Planning Practice Guidance. As of 2019, the guidance extended to over fifty categories covering

6450-412: The revised National Planning Policy Framework following a legal judgement. A heritage statement is a written statement accompanying a planning application or a listed building consent application which outlines the heritage significance of the building or other asset affected by the application, the potential impact of the planning proposal on the asset and the means by which the undesirable impacts on

6536-501: The right to require public authorities to pay fines to the European Union resulting from an infraction of European Union law. Part 4 amended the beneficiaries to whom discretionary relief on non-domestic rates (i.e. Business Rates) could be granted by a council. Most significantly, Section 68 amended the Business Rate Supplements Act 2009 , imposing a requirement to conduct a ballot of those eligible to pay

6622-416: The same whatever term is applied. The Canadian Institute of Planners offers a definition that land use planning means the scientific, aesthetic, and orderly disposition of land, resources, facilities and services with a view to securing the physical, economic and social efficiency, health and well-being of urban and rural communities. The American Planning Association states that the goal of land use planning

6708-504: The social, economic and environmental attributes that defined their quality of life. Zoning regulations became politically contentious as developers, legislators, and citizens struggled over altering zoning maps in a way that was acceptable to all parties. Land use planning practices evolved as an attempt to overcome these challenges. It engages citizens and policy-makers to plan for development with more intention, foresight, and community focus than had been previously used. Land use planning

6794-414: The social, political and economic formation of society. As mentioned earlier, the use of land refers to the occupation of a certain area according to its agrological capacity and therefore its development potential, it is classified according to its location as urban or rural, it represents a fundamental element for the development of the city and its inhabitants since it is from these that its urban structure

6880-501: The statutory instruments on the basis that the changes introduced were unlawful citing a lack of scrutiny, consultation or impact assessments as well as a failure of the government to take account of its own independent experts. The judicial review was ultimately unsuccessful.
