	Planning is a very complex subject and rapidly changing subject and the legal framework is very extensive. Despite repeated attempts to streamline planning, it can be a significant risk on projects, and clients may be reluctant to spend large sums of money on fees until they have some certainty that planning permission will be received. In 2008, The Killian Pretty Review, 'Planning applications: A faster and more responsive system' found that 10% of major developments were delayed by a year or more, and that permissions for small changes to property were a barrier to growth.
