The Planning Act 2008 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom intended to speed up the process for approving major new infrastructure projects such as airports, roads, harbours, energy facilities such as nuclear power and waste facilities. Along with the Climate Change Bill and the Energy Bill this bill was considered by the Brown administration to be one of the "three legislative pillars of the Government's strategy to secure long-term prosperity and quality of life for all". ==Key aims== * A new body, the Infrastructure Planning Commission would make the decisions * These decisions would be based on new national policy statements * Hearings and the decision-making process would be timetabled * The new regime would be used for major energy projects * The Secretary of State would not be able to have the final say on major infrastructure decisions * A new Community Infrastructure Levy on developments would finance infrastructure (money would be raised from developers to pay for the facilities needed as a consequence of new developments, such as schools, hospitals and sewage plants). * Planning appeals in relation to minor developments would be heard by a panel of local councillors and not by a planning inspector.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Planning Bill 2007-08 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Planning Act 2008」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
