Chartered town planner and local Ascot resident Christian Leigh has recently published two books on town planning, aimed at providing advice for the general public. Christian has worked for 25 years as a planning consultant advising householders, local businesses, multinational companies across England, as well as work for local and national Government. He is also a visiting lecturer in planning law at the University of Reading.

The two books are user-friendly guides, written in a non-technical style, and cover two topics which can commonly affect people: objecting to a planning application or appeal, or lodging your own planning appeal. They provide a step-by-step guide to getting involved in the planning system.

They are now published and available to buy on Amazon, with a link to the books and more information at his website:  www.town-planning-know-how.co.uk

The books have been well-received by the development profession, with sales already taking the books into the Amazon bestsellers for legal guides for the layperson. Both books are now in the top 10 bestseller lists, including in the wide category of consumer guides !
