Selecting and Allocating Land for Housing Development

Selecting and Allocating Land for Housing Development: Politics, Expedient Sites, Regional Planning and Localism was funded by the RICS Education Trust in 2010/11.

Overview

The project was originally called The Politics of Privilege: Delivering New Homes on 'Privileged' Sites in England. The study examined the balance that is struck locally between allocations as a purely technical process, and the selection of sites for housing as a political act that might deviate from 'good planning'. Its context was the seismic shifts in planning policy that were apparent in 2009/10, particularly the transitional status of regional strategies, the fate of strategic major sites, and the localisation of planning.
