Week 4: The Planning System

From this seminar, I realised that there are many rules and regulations. Mr Sam had lead us to consider about the site location, zone and planning permission by using the local plan of Sheffield City Council. I had found out that the land is under the conservation area and it is categorised under 'flexible use area'(figure1) which there are certain restrictions of the site. The industry building, warehouse and storage building are not acceptable. (figure 2)

I realised there are a lot of restrictions that we should be future considering to our propose development.

This table show that we cannot simply choose type of development but refer to relevant policy. Core Strategy and CIQ also influence the choice of development with further detail description.
