Useful Links

Given the huge number of variations that appear to exist in the way local planning authorities carry out their statutory functions, and the constant search for the 'right' answer, we thought that the Planning Administrators' Network could be further enhanced by the addition of a list of Useful Links.

This list is by no means exhaustive and we will add to it over time. If PAN members themselves have come across other useful sites/pages please let us know and if we think they will be of general interest we will add them to the list. Please send any suggestions to chris@tra-ltd.co.uk.
