UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACTS OF DEREGULATION IN PL...

In England  it has been possible since 2013 to convert an office building into residential use
without needing planning permission (as has been required since 1948). This book explores the
consequences of this central government driven deregulation on local communities. The policy
decision was primarily about boosting the supply of housing  but reflects a broader neoliberal
ideology which seeks to reform public planning in many countries to reduce perceived
interference in free markets. Drawing on original research in the English local authorities of
Camden  Croydon  Leeds  Leicester and Reading  the book provides a case study of the
implementation of planning deregulation which demonstrates the lowering of standards in housing
quality  the reduced ability of the local state to proactively steer development and plan for
their places  and the transfer of wealth from the public to private spheres that has resulted.
Comparative case studies from Glasgow and Rotterdam call into question the very need for the
deregulation in the first place.
