Implementation and Design Quality

Objectives

This seeks to ensure that you have a practical and theoretical understanding of the approaches to managing development through the mechanisms and system of planning.

It will also provide you with a working and practical understanding of analytical skills needed to make decisions based not on the output (i.e. a decision,) but rather to be outcome focused. You will explore the legal framework of planning, how decisions are made, enforcement, design, movement, appeals, and a range of other areas of interest. You will study and learn through a series of lectures, exercises and seminars which allow practice application and understanding of theory, policy, and regulation.

The course is therefore underpinned by the principles of the development management approach with an emphasis on the quality of the outcome and the effectiveness of the process.
