This RSGB booklet is an essential planning advice resource for Members

This booklet is an essential planning advice resource provided free to all Members

So far as it can, given a limited number of Committee members, the Committee wishes to be represented at major rallies and exhibitions so as to be able to provide face-to-face advice to Members.

Although most activity relates to planning applications, some cases need to go to appeal.

Inspectors decide appeals on planning merits but appeal decisions offer a useful insight into what criteria are considered important by the Inspectorate.

When received, such decisions can be made available for Members’ use.
