A great article that sums a great deal of (shared) experience of the planning system in a few paragraphs. More of these please.

The poor architect is stuck in the middle of this shambles of a system. Add to that the common expectation (of clients) that architects have some sort of magic influence over planners. Nobody has a firm idea of the rules in this 'planning' game.

I dread to think how much client's money has been wasted over the years through needless negotiations and appeals, not to mention all the schemes assigned to the 'planning graveyard' that should have been built but were refused with some vague reasoning.

The language used in planning should have a dictionary of its own. Its pseudo-legal terminology is stuck in the dark ages.
