Note(s)Explores recent changes that involve the Planning Inspectorate in England, considering the relevance and value of independence and impartiality in effective decision-making, and the significance of these changes in the context of localism and the subsidiarity narrative. Focuses upon the value of having an independent body for planning decisions through a comparison with the Planning Appeals Commission (PAC) in Northern Ireland. The article points towards the potential need for change in the structural approach and arrangements of the system in England, drawing particularly upon the PAC as a potential model for consideration.
