· Objectives: what is the aim of planning in the UK?

· Methods: how appropriate is UK planning legislation?

· Procedures: how effective are the planning organizations and processes?

· Impacts: to what extent have planning policies addressed planning problems?

Teaching devices and case studies are used throughout to illustrate the planning process. The text concludes with a discussion of the measurement of the success or failure of planning practices.

Planning in Britain will be essential reading for all planning students, as well as geographers and land economists studying land use planning.

The Countryside: Planning and Change (1981) examines the relationship between policies and their actual effects on the countryside, throwing light on the problems inherent in a fragmented approach to policy-making. It looks at the underlying reasons for change in the rural environment first and then the governmental response as reflected in powers assumed and rights granted to guide and direct rural development. The way in which land-use changes have been affected by public policies is then examined in further detail, with particular attention to settlements. Detailed case studies are utilised for this purpose.
