They are all (I hope) listed in the Appendices and 1 will only single out for special thanks my primary contacts: Tony Shelton and Eric Bowen in Leeds City Council and Ted Kitchen in Manchester City Council. All three were most helpful in arranging access or suggesting other people 1 should talk to outside the councils. The Economic and Social Research Council financed the first two years of my work through a Linked Studentship. The School of Planning at Oxford Polytechnic has been a very sympathetic and comfortable base for my period of study. Many staff and research students have given valuable support; it helps a lot to be surrounded by nice people. In addition 1 would like to thank the School of Planning for supporting my third year of study. Jane Woolfrey and Ruth Dyer did the majority of the typing, and in the Town Planning Office Sue Bartlett was especially helpful wherever practical problems arose. By far my largest debt is to my supervisors, Patsy Healey and Mike Gibson. Both were in at the beginning, supporting me in starting the research and both have stuck by the project, along its sometimes far from direct trajectory. I am very grateful to both. ABSTRACT Local Planning in Inner City Residential Areas: Studies of Leeds and Manchester 1966-1986 T. C. MARSHALL A new phase of local planning began in the 1970s in the major English cities, as redevelopment of older residential areas began to give way to rehabilitation. This phase has not been intensively studied in the planning literature. This study seeks to assess the contribution of local planning to the processes of renewal in these inner residential areas, with a special interest in arrangements which may give residents of these areas better control over the outcomes. The research examines the factors which conditioned the approach to local planning in each city and each neighbourhood, with case studies of two neighbourhoods in Leeds and two in Manchester. At the citywide level Manchester council's form of Labour politics is seen as generally discouraging the use of local planning frameworks, with the retention of a more centralised council administration. Analysis of the joint operation of a wide range of factors is emphasised as necessary to understand the kinds of local planning adopted and the effects these had. In particular the variation present within each neighbourhood and in each case or episode is seen as significant in influencing local planning processes and outcomes. After 1974 there was less likelihood of even informal area frameworks being used, and greater tendencies towards ad hoc planning decisions on individual cases. It is concluded that extensive changes are needed to make local planning more responsive: changes particularly in the overall resourcing and programming context in which local planning operates, and in the procedures used within planning, above all those for involving local interests and in the way municipal administration is organised. The housing renewal system introduced in 1990 (with Renewal Areas) might, if suitably applied, help to facilitate such a form of more responsive local planning.

Through better understanding it is intended that the interests of those based in these areas (mainly residents) may be furthered, whether through their own action or by action by politicians, government officials or others on their behalf. This object of research stems from personal interests as well as the broader concerns voiced in planning practice and in academic debates. These concerns will be examined later but first further comments on the research context and on the nature of 'local planning' are necessary, and the research issue will be detailed into specific questions. The research context refers to those inner residential areas of the English cities primarily built before 1914, rather than those parts which have been redeveloped after that date, mainly in the 1950s and 196Os. This is by no means a hard and fast limitation, as it is an important fact that redevelopment has been both spatially scattered and has had profound effects on areas not redeveloped. However, the limited focus does serve to identify a specific era of urban renewal in English cities, when redevelopment was becoming less all-powerful and rehabilitation gradually became the norm of physical treatment of residential areas. Furthermore it will be evident that a concentration on areas of residence does not exclude consideration of land uses which have been mixed in with or developed adjacent to those areas. The emphasis only serves to avoid investigating those large blocks of commercial, retail or industrial uses which exist in most major English cities. It will be noted that 'major' cities are referred to. This arises from a judgement that the larger cities in England share some common spatial-historical features which have given them some degree of similarity. This judgement rests on both personal 2 acquaintance with many of the cities and the research on inner cities undertaken especially in the last decade (see for example Hausner and Begg, 1986, and Robson, 1988).
