Planning policy

At the beginning, I think that learning about the planning system in UK is useless as it is different and may not be applicable in Malaysia construction industry. Through the information given, I realize that although both systems are different, but I will still learn some skill that benefits me in future by going through the process of searching and analyzing the relevant information.

Through this lesson, I learnt that before decide the type of building to be proposed, there are many information need to obtained from Sheffield City Council website such as zone and restrictions on land, requirement of planning permission and procedure of planning application until the submission. This helps me learn the ways to analyze and filter the important information through lots of new and complicated information. 

Hence, this lesson enables me to learn on the skill of managing information properly and decision making as stipulated under CIOB competencies framework. I learnt to effective utilize resources correctly and search the important information in the right direction so that correct decision can be made by eliminate unnecessary information.
