  Town and country planning in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Town and Country Planning is the system by which the British government seeks to maintain a balance between economic development and environmental quality in England.
The essential framework for the system was set in the Town and Country Planning Act 1947, with a critical addition in 1955 of green belts, which were introduced via a Government Circular.
The roots of the UK town and country planning system, created in the immediate post-war years, lie in concerns developed over the previous half century in response to industrialisation and urbanisation.

 The British Perspective On The ESDP Process   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The differences between "town and country planning" as practiced in the UK and "spatial planning" at the European level were also significant.
The first and obvious point is that although a highly centralized country, at least prior to the election in 1999 of the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh and Northern Ireland Assemblies, the British planning system is in the first instance rooted in local government.
Also, the evolving view of planning in the United Kingdom, which fits into a more market-led approach, was of planning as a process as much as (or possibly more than) the preparation of an end state plan or document.

 Subject benchmark statement: Academic standards - Town and country planning - March 2001
Planning is a activity that has an important role to play in delivering and safeguarding many of the aspirations that civilised societies hold dear - environmental sustainability, social equity, cultural diversity and economic prosperity.
Planning is a discipline concerned with creating and co-ordinating action in the environment, and as such requires students to be familiar with a wide range of material, with a view to taking well-informed prescriptive actions in the real world of the built and natural environments.
Planning can be used for oppressive as well as altruistic purposes, and students need an understanding of the contexts in which each might occur.
