Killian Pretty Review for faster more responsive service for planning applications – we took case study research into the planning application process.  The research entailed examining the planning application process, from pre-application through to the discharge of conditions and commencement of construction through a series of case studies.  It aimed to examine what could disrupt the progress of an application, and to make recommendations to improve the process. Partner:  Arup.  Client: Communities and Local Government.  June 2008
