This topical, edited collection analyses the state of the planning system in England and offers a robust, evidence-based review of over a decade of change since the Conservatives came into power.

With a critique of ongoing planning reforms by the UK government, the book argues that the planning system is often blamed for a range of issues caused by ineffective policymaking by government.

Including chapters on housing, localism, design, zoning, and the consequences of Brexit for environmental planning, the contributors unpick a complicated set of recent reforms and counter the claims of the think-tank-led assault on democratic planning.

Reviews for Planning in a Failing State: Reforming Spatial Governance in England

""An excellent and topical edited work that should prove invaluable to all those interested in understanding the turmoil of ill-conceived central government reforms, often subsequently abandoned, that have afflicted the English statutory planning system since election of the coalition government in 2010 and the succession of conservative administrations that followed. Covering a spectrum of topics from housing supply to infrastructure and associated procedural changes embracing ‘localism’ and local design codes yet intending to bypass both local planning authorities and communities through permitted development and new forms of zoning, the book admirably charts the failures not so much of planning but of the wider governance state in which it operates."" Mark Baker, University of Manchester
