But planning law in Wales has become fragmented and almost impossible to navigate. We have an exciting opportunity now to identify the scope of what needs to be done to create clearer, simpler and more modern law, and to take the first constructive steps towards a fully comprehensive codification of the legal framework that regulates development and land use in Wales.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Things are still very much up in the air with regards to an action plan, but the Law Commission is very much in favour of a \u2018revamp\u2019 of the current system, what that will mean is very unclear at the moment, but a more modern, consistent and clearer system will hopefully be the outcome.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>We look forward with optimism to clearer, simpler, more accessible Planning Law in Wales. In the interim, with QC\u2019s considering the current system impenetrable, the need to seek professional advice will continue and Berrys are more than happy to assist you in this regard.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Contact <a href=\"https:\/\/renovateme.co.uk\/expert\/Lawri-Potts\">Lawri Potts<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Law Commission have
