Common Land
Purpose
Common land has long presented a challenge to land use planning and management. The legal aspects are complex and the multi-functional land use aspects make the area a difficult one to grasp from a practical land management point of view and from a formal planning sense. This knowledge builder explores the issues and legal framework.
Benefits
An in-depth knowledge of the background to planning law as it applies to common land is important even though governance systems tend to be highly localised and still dependent to some extent on local custom and practice.
Audience
Urban and regional planners and all those wishing to build and assess their knowledge of the topic.
Learning method
A comprehensive knowledge builder on the history and current planning implications, context and background of common land. Additionally a comprehensive range of further reading is provided for those who wish to become expert in the subject. Includes voluntary self assessment for recording continuous professional development (CPD).
