Evaluating Planning Outputs
Evaluating Planning Outputs
The chapter is divided into two main sections. First, decision making and outputs in the plan-making system are outlined, since as Chapter 1 has shown land use plans should guide development control. Accordingly development control outputs are assessed from p. 96. In each part a fairly common structure is employed, focused around the appropriateness and effectiveness of the legislation, the organisations and the decision-making processes that produce the outputs.
