Permitted Changes of Use - FOURTH EDITION goes to press

The new FOURTH EDITION of A Practical Guide to Permitted Changes of Use went to press a fortnight ago. It was delivered to the printers on 31st March, and so copies should become available by the end of this month.

After having written the three previous editions of this book, I am very grateful to Alistair Mills and David Evans for accepting the invitation of Bath Publishing to become Joint Editors with me of this Fourth Edition. They have brought to this new edition a wealth of legal knowledge and experience, not only in updating the text to reflect the latest amendments to the GPDO but also in contributing additional insights into the law and practice in this complex area of development management. The preparation of the new edition has been a rewarding collegiate exercise, and I am confident that readers will continue to find this work a valuable and even essential resource in tackling the issues that the book explains.

Alistair Mills is a Fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge and Dias College Lecturer in Law there. He is a practising barrister, and an Associate Member of Landmark Chambers in London. David Evans is a Consultant Solicitor with 20 years’ experience specialising in planning law. As for me, as readers of this blog are aware, I retired as a Solicitor last year after more than 40 years specialising in planning law.

As we await the publication of “PCU4”, bookings continue to flow in for our launch seminar in London (and online) on Thursday 5 May and we are looking forward to welcoming delegates to this event. It promises to be another interesting exploration of some of the many issues that the complex and convoluted provisions of the subordinate legislation on permitted changes of use have thrown up.

There is still time to book for the seminar, or to order a copy of the new edition of the book (if you can’t attend the seminar in person or online). Don’t forget that a seminar booking gets you a free copy of the book. You can make your booking and/or order the book by clicking on the link on the left-hand side of this page. This will take you straight to Bath Publishing’s website.
