Time to leap into the Cortina as Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt roar back into action in a brand new installment of Life on Mars. ‘Smell that borstal whiff, Tyler. The heady aroma of body odour, spunk, and bunged up khazis. And that’s just the staff who work here.’ It’s time to get tooled up as DI Sam Tyler and DCI Gene Hunt find themselves pursuing justice on the wrong side of the prison walls in this third exciting instalment of Life on Mars. A grisly death, a mysterious letter, and a runaway truck on the rampage – what is it that connects them, and why does it point towards the brutal regime at Friar's Brook borstal? Is Head Warder McClintock taking his obsession with control and punishment to murderous extremes? Or are there even darker forces at work amid the young criminal minds incarcerated behind those high walls? For Sam, Friar’s Brook will be far more than just a police investigation. What he encounters there will tear his world apart.

Time to leap into the Cortina as Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt roar back into action in a brand new installment of Life on Mars. Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt plunge into the boxing underworld – and this time, the gloves are off! The travelling fair has rolled into town, but it has brought with it more than just dodgem cars and candy floss. A young boxer is found brutally murdered, and as Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt delve deeper into the case, it leads them behind the gaudy lights and painted caravans of the fairground, into the shadowy underbelly of bare-knuckle brawlers and bloody illegal fights. But Sam is coping with more than just police work. He is still being plagued by The Test Card Girl with horrifying visions of the terrible doom that awaits both he and Annie. What is this monstrous presence that is pursuing them? Can Sam find a way of defeating this remorseless evil – or are their fates sealed?

Time to leap into the Cortina as Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt roar back into action in a brand new instalment of Life on Mars. ‘If you think I’m gonna stand here listening to yet more of your Mary, Mungo and Midge about waiting for back-up, you’re even dopier than the front of your head suggests, Tyler. I’m going right up them stairs to nail me a villain – and that, Sammy-boy, is called law enforcement!’ When detective Sam Tyler was catapulted into the alien world of 1973, he found a world where men swigged scotch before breakfast. But when Sam finally got home, he realised he’d left his heart back in the seventies amongst the fly-wing collars and pints of Skol. He missed Annie Cartwright, the woman he had fallen in love with, and perhaps – just perhaps – he even missed The Guv, that nicotine-stained, sexist, homophobic caveman who was his DCI. Now Sam is back in ’73 for good, but is this the greatest mistake he’s ever made? As Sam deals with what appears to be an IRA bombing campaign, and clashes with the irrepressible Gene Hunt, the creepy little girl from the TV test card keeps warning him, “you should never have come back here, Sam…you’ll see… you’ll see…”

Time to leap into the Cortina as Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt roar back into action in a brand new installment of Life on Mars. ‘Women in the Force?! It’s against nature! Just look what happened here when they let Cartwright in. Like bloody Yoko, she’s been.’ The team at CID is falling apart. Internal conflicts are stretching loyalties, wrecking friendships and turning A-Division against itself. And somehow, with their department splitting like Rod Stewart’s tightest trousers, DCI Gene Hunt and DI Sam Tyler must deal with a case that is leaving dead coppers all over the city, threatening to destroy the mighty Guv’nor himself, and sees Annie Cartwright pursued by a killer who will let nothing stop him – not even death.

The only book out there to draw together all the disparate law on highways in development projects Managing and providing highways and highway improvements looms large in many building projects but the law and rules regulating their part in the planning and development processes are complex and widespread. A Practical Guide to Planning, Highways and Development brings that law together in a single, invaluable volume. Tom Graham, a specialist planning and highway lawyer, explains all the knotty problems raised by highways so you can get authoritative guidance on such issues as: Essential highway law concepts, including 'ransom' strips Dealing with highway matters in the planning process, including by conditions and planning agreements The impact of national policies, development plans and technical guidance on proposed developments The drafting, use and misuse of "Section 38 Agreements" and "Section 278 Agreements Alongside this essential commentary, is an invaluable set of annotated sample agreements including s38 and 278 agreements, minor works agreements and planning obligations. Tom has also provided annotated extracts from the key statutes to help you interpret the underlying law, all of which makes the book the definitive, hands-on reference for all planners, developers, highway engineers and their advisers.

The Environment Act received Royal Assent in December 2021. It is a landmark piece of legislation creating a new governance framework that will regulate how the nation manages biodiversity, water resources and air pollution to name just a few, and introducing conservation covenant agreements as an option for developers. This new regime will lean heavily on the planning system with environmental considerations, becoming a key factor in planning and development decision making. This means everyone involved in considering or advising on new developments needs to know how the new regime could impact on those plans. The Environment Act 2021: A Guide for Planners and Developers will be one of the first books available to provide a comprehensive overview of the Act specifically for the planning sector. Written by Tom Graham, a practising lawyer with many years of experience in environment and planning law, it answers the questions that planners and advisors will need to consider such as: The interpretation of the Environment Act Conservation biology and the planning system What is Biodiversity Net Gain and how will it interact with the planning system? What is the "precautionary principle" and how is this to be reflected in the planning process? Can local planning authorities push a "green agenda"? Section 106 agreements, conservation covenants, planning conditions and ecology How will local planning committees get to grips with the complexities of the Act? How will the act impact on developers? Is it a benefit or a problem? As well as practical commentary, the book includes the relevant sections of the Act, annotated by the author, so you will have the sources you need in one, handy volume.

Managing environmental issues in planning decisions is now an essential part of the process. The increasing pressure to develop brownfield sites and the publicity around the damage caused by air pollution are just two of the drivers for this growing area of planning practice. The difficulty is that the law relating to these problems is disparate and overseen by different agencies, with the answers hidden deep in often obscure guidance, regulations and case law. It is also developing rapidly as the provisions of the Environment Act 2021 begin to bite. Tom Graham's latest book aims to make some sense of this seemingly chaotic regime to provide developers, their advisors and the planning authorities with a coherent round up of the problems and how to address them by: setting out the main causes for concern created by for example landfill sites or abandoned mines providing practical insights on site and environmental impact assessments explaining the concepts such as air quality, toxicity and verification outlining how environmental law interacts with current planning law such as s106 of the Town and Country Planning Act offering drafting tips for any planning conditions Case studies and a set of invaluable appendices reproducing key guidance in full help to bring it all together, making the book an essential source of reference for everyone involved in developing potentially contaminated sites.
