6. The British Planning Context
S70. 1990 Town & Country Planning Act, DoE, 1996, para. 117
Local authority is in principle entirely free to determine the material consideration that is
relevant to a particular planning application and impose such condition on planning permission
PPG24 (DoE, 1994, para. 2) Planning & Noise
To achieve separation in land uses, local planning authorities should consider whether it is practicable
to control or reduce noise levels, or to mitigate the impact of noise, through the use of conditions or
planning obligations.
PPG21 (DoE, 1992, para. 5.32) Tourism
Acceptable proposal for tourism related development may raise objections which if unresolved
would justify a refusal of permission. In such circumstances the local authority should consider
whether its objections can be resolved by imposing a planning condition
PPG17 (DoE, 1991, para. 22) Sport & Recreation
In built up areas, opportunities for creating new public open space may request local authorities to
enter planning obligations
PPG6 (DoE, 1996, para. 3.16) Town Center & Retail Developments
PG1 (DoE, 1997b, para. 36 ) General Policy & Principle
Planning obligations are useful instruments, fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind of
development… Planning obligations directly related to the proposed development….Planning
permission can not be bought and sold; local planning authorities can not allow their decisions to be
affected by the offer of extra inducements
…(parking provisions of town-center & superstores……it can play a dual role, servicing superstore as
well town center…it can be achieved by imposing/seeking agreement.

13. 1. Articulate a detailed statement of Lefebvre’s "right to the city" entailed
Henri Lefebvre :
The right to the city ’Le Droit à la ville’1968
*Right to change ourselves by changing the city (freedom to make & remake our cities). The transformation inevitably
depends upon the exercise of a collective power to reshape the processes of urbanization
The critique of everyday life. 1968, 1973, 1996
*Capitalism is surviving and reproducing itself in everyday-lives that continue to diminish the quality of everyday life, and
inhibit real self-expression
**Individuality, Mystifications, Money (fetishism & economic alienation), Needs (psychological & moral alienation),
Work (alienation of worker/man), Freedom (man’s power over nature & over his own nature)

**Offers radical alternative, directly
challenges & rethinks to current structure of

new urban politics will produce

3. Transferred state functions
(Goodwin & Painter 1996; Jones 1999)
Post-1970. Cities’ global restructuring --in the way cities are governed-- :
1. Re-scaled City
2. Re-oriented policy
into non-state & quasi-state bodies
(shifting government to governance)
(from redistribution toward competition)
20. 17/27
Solution : Right to the city?
“Right to the city”
Lefebvre : A call for radical restructuring of
social, political, and economic relationship
1. Liberal-democratic citizenship relations (right to
participation in the face of governance
change)
2. Capitalist social relations (inhabitants participate
centrally and directly in decision-making)
Purcell : Scalar politics (scale /degree of
participation/empowerment)
1. Rescaling of the present structure of democratic
participation
2. Rescaling of how political membership is
defined.

29. Conclusion26/27
Type of Concept of governance has potential to inform and support
spatial planning in several ways :
1. It provides orientation for the contemporary role of spatial planning
in the wider context of society
2. Encourages systematic reflection on current planning practices,
3. As base concept for empirical analysis of planning processes
4. May appear as normative device for planning profession
