This topical book offers an analysis of the current state of the planning system in England and an evidence-based review of over a decade of change. With a critique of ongoing UK planning reforms, the book argues that the planning system is often blamed for a range of issues that are in fact the fault of ineffective policymaking.

Originally shows how the notion and narratives of failure around planning are addressed through empirical and conceptual insight of key authorities in different domains of the planning field. The breadth of argument, across several aspects of planning, is unique and will provide the opportunity for integration and synthesis which will be interesting to the potential audience.
