Mediation in the Planning System (Report)
In August 1998, the Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions (DLTR) commissioned Michael Welbank in association with Nick Davies and Ian Haywood to carry out a research study into the use of mediation in the planning system. This Report presents the results of the study which comprised a review of published literature, a review of current practice and field studies of 48 mediations. The principal aims of the study were to establish the viability of introducing mediation effectively into the planning process and to determine if this would speed up decision making, reduce the pressure on public funds and the number of disputes which might otherwise result in appeals (Ref. Annex H). The study has been guided by a Steering Group comprising representatives of the Department and the Planning Inspectorate (Ref. Preface).
