Simplifying Planning Process, Initiating “Neighbourhood Planning”: Experience and Lessons from England Spatial Planning System Reform

Yao Rui, Yu Li, Chen Chun

Keywords: Spatial Planning System Reform; Localism; Simplified Planning Process; Neighbourhood Plan; England

Abstract:

In 2010, the Coalition government of UK faced the challenges of national economic recession and sustainable development. Therefore, the United Government promulgated the“ Localism Act 2011” which establishes “neighbourhood plan” while revoking the former statutory plan, “Regional Spatial Strategy”. The objectives of the Act were to simplify planning process, to promote the reform of the spatial planning system by localism, and to reduce restrains, such as lack of ability in dealing with changes and less efficiency in traditional spatial planning system. This paper analyses the measures including simplified planning process and the initiation of “neighbourhood plan” in this reform to explore potential and/or existing problems of new initiatives. It is expected to provide some experience and lessons for the establishment and improvement of“ Territorial Space Planning System” in China by analysing these issues.
