在行政的領域裡，計畫能否有效執行，組織為主要的關鍵。就土地使用規劃組織結構與設計能否與規劃內容有適當的聯結，則攸關計畫的目標能否達成。英國自1947年採開發許可的方式為管制的工具，自施行以來成效良好。而開發許可的准駁除了必須有法定的計畫做為依據之外，規劃主管機關裁量權的行使也是重要的關鍵之一，因此計畫體系、規劃機關組織關系與聞發管制的工具乃形成一個密不可分的連結體，其中規劃機關組織尤為寶現計畫目標與執行管制工具的主體。本文的目的除希望先對組織的理念作探討外，亦希望透過英國開發管制背景的演變、規劃機關組織結構與動態面的分析，能夠對規劃主管機關的角色、組織結構、功能與運作有深入的瞭解。

In the realm of administration, effective implementation of plans mainly hinges upon organization. In the planning and control of land use, for instance, whether the structure and design put forth by the planning agency have suitable connections with the content of the plan w迎decide whether the goals of that plan can be achieved. Ever since its adoption by Great Britain in 1947, developement permit has proved to be an effective means of control As the granting of permits not only must be based upon legislation, but also results from the use of adminis-trative discretion, it follows thst between the planning agency, the regulating authority, and the means for develepment control there exists a close relationship, in which the structure of the regulating authority has the leading part to play in enforcing the control and realizing the goals of the plan. The purpose of this article, besides exploring the ideas of organization, is to probe more deeply into the role, the organization structure, the function as well as operation of the regulating authority through an analysis of the changing background of development control in Britain and also the structural and the dynamic aspects of the regulating of the regulating authority
