Abstract

In the UK, the outward growth of settlements beyond their existing territorial boundaries has until recently been managed primarily through local negotiation between neighbouring authorities or by the coordination and impetus provided by strategic planning. The current overhaul of the planning system in England, with the removal of regional planning, has unlocked a debate over how ‘larger than local’ planning is undertaken and how cross-boundary cooperation is promoted. This paper reports, firstly, on planning professionals' recent experience of cooperating on major housing developments in three under-bounded authorities. Secondly, it reflects on the loss of the regional tier, and thirdly, it examines expectations of a more locally oriented planning system and its likely capacity to deliver on major cross-boundary projects.
