Two features this month.
1. Plannning
The Localism and Decentralisation Bill is set to transform the way in
which devleopers engage with communities. Listening, rather than
talking, will now be an important part of the process when seeking to
secure planning permission.
What will the bill mean to planning? Will it be, as some fear, a Nimbys'
charter to block proposals? Or will it usher in planning process that's
better than the current centralised model?
The month Insider talks to the experts and stakeholders about the bill
and what it means.
2. Freehold opportunities
Most businesses lease the premises they occupy. In many case it provides
the flexibility a company needs to fit the needs of the business to the
space it requires.
But sometimes a freehold will make more sense. This month Insider
explores the arguments for buying the freehold of a building, and the
practicalities, too.
Comments/contacts for either/both by 13th June 2011, please.
