The Planning System

The lecture in week 4 which taught by Sam Moorwood was about the planning system in United Kingdom. Throughout the lecture, I am able to understand about the planning system and the related acts and regulations to be apply in the development of a construction project. The planning system is different compare with the planning system in Malaysia. The regulation that used in United Kingdom is Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and Malaysia is using Town and Country Planning Act 1976 (Malaysia). Both of these acts are imposed in the legal planning framework. (Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2)

During the lecture, Sam Moorwood had taught us that how to obtain information from the Sheffield City Council website. This able to help me on finding information for the assignment and the information will be more accurate. The information that I can find in the website are proposal map, Sheffield City Policies and Sheffield Core Strategy. Moreover, the information that I can obtained from the website such as the zone and usage of land, requirement for the planning permission, conservation regulatory framework and restriction on development. All of these information had help me in finalizing the type of development to be constructed for the proposed land and also the regulations and requirements to be imposed for the development.

Through this lecture, I had learn on how to manage the information and decision making as stipulated under the CIOB competencies frameworks. As there are some information which available in the Sheffield City Council website are not relevant to the development. Therefore, I had learn that we shall eliminate some unrelated information so that we can make a correct decision by understanding and utilize all the information adequately.
