Public Consultation Code of Practice

Camberley Town Centre

A construction project will often be 'unwelcome and intrusive' to some. It may be a relatively small development (a house extension or the conversion of an old building to a new use), or it may be substantial (a trunk road, or an airport extension, or a new shopping centre). Although all developments confer benefits upon many people - a new shop, for instance, should benefit customers, the shopkeeper and the local economy, as well as the owner of the land - there will almost inevitably be those for whom a particular development will be unwelcome.

It is a function of the planning system to attempt to balance conflicting interests: those of the promoter to develop the infrastructure for the public's benefit; and the interests of those who may be adversely affected by the proposed project.
