  • Local Planning Guidance Note No 7
    LOCAL PLANNING GUIDANCE NOTE NO 7 Landscape and Development his is one of a series of local planning guidance notes amplifying development plan proposals in a clear and concise format with the objective of improving Tdesign standards. In assessing planning applications both the design of buildings and their external environment and landscape are taken into account, and on many developments, the requirement to provide a landscape scheme to the Council's approval and to subsequently implement and maintain the scheme is a condition of planning permission. The note will form a material consideration in the determination of all relevant planning applications. It is intended that this general guidance will clarify landscape information requirements and help applicants to have a better understanding of landscape issues. As these guidelines cannot cover all situations, applicants and agents are encouraged to discuss proposals with the landscape officer prior to the formal submission of an application. Information sheets are also available on a range of landscape topics. For larger or more complex sites, applicants are advised to employ a professionally qualified landscape specialist from the outset. General considerations Careful and early consideration of design issues, and the provision of adequate landscape information, as described in this leaflet, can help to avoid costly delays at a later stage. In assessing the landscape implications of planning applications the site context, proposed layout, future uses and maintenance all need to be taken into This leaflet is account. 7available in There is a diverse landscape character and settlement pattern within the County alternative formats Borough, with rural landscapes of particularly high quality or special historic landscape interest designated as Special Landscape Areas in Wrexham's Unitary Development Plan.

  • 'The Planned City Sweeps the Poor Away...'§: Urban Planning and 21St Century Urbanisation
    Progress in Planning 72 (2009) 151–193 www.elsevier.com/locate/pplann ‘The planned city sweeps the poor away...’§: Urban planning and 21st century urbanisation Vanessa Watson * School of Architecture, Planning and Geomatics, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch, Cape Town 7700, South Africa Abstract In recent years, attention has been drawn to the fact that now more than half of the world’s population is urbanised, and the bulk of these urban dwellers are living in the global South. Many of these Southern towns and cities are dealing with crises which are compounded by rapid population growth, particularly in peri-urban areas; lack of access to shelter, infrastructure and services by predominantly poor populations; weak local governments and serious environmental issues. There is also a realisation that newer issues of climate change, resource and energy depletion, food insecurity and the current financial crisis will exacerbate present difficult conditions. As ideas that either ‘the market’ or ‘communities’ could solve these urban issues appear increasingly unrealistic, there have been suggestions for a stronger role for governments through reformed instruments of urban planning. However, agencies (such as UN-Habitat) promoting this make the point that in many parts of the world current urban planning systems are actually part of the problem: they serve to promote social and spatial exclusion, are anti-poor, and are doing little to secure environmental sustainability. Urban planning, it is argued, therefore needs fundamental review if it is to play any meaningful role in current urban issues. This paper explores the idea that urban planning has served to exclude the poor, but that it might be possible to develop new planning approaches and systems which address urban growth and the major environment and resource issues, and which are pro- poor.

    The Planning process in the US and Germany: A Comparative Analysis Stephan Schmidt, Assistant Professor Department of City and Regional Planning Cornell University, 313 West Sibley Hall Ithaca, NY, 14853 (607)-254-4846 E-mail: [email protected] Ralph Buehler, PhD Candidate Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy Rutgers University, 33 Livingston Ave New Brunswick, NJ, 08901 E-mail: [email protected] Acknowledgements: We would like to thank Henning Nuissl, Sabine Baumgart, Heiderose Kilper, Alfred Schneider, Marcel Herzberg, Axel Stein, Uwe Kunert as well the editors and an anonymous reviewer for reading the manuscript and providing insightful comments. Any remaining faults are our own. 1 The Planning process in the US and Germany: A Comparative Analysis Abstract: This paper compares the planning process in Germany and the United States. We note fundamental institutional and structural differences between the two countries and discuss recent trends and patterns. Contrary to the US, planning in Germany is mediated through a vertically integrated and consensus oriented institutional framework. In response to the socioeconomic consequences of reunification and European integration, German planning has experimented with new regional associations. In the US, concerns over sprawl have led to increased state level planning and intervention. We conclude that these trends are in response to different circumstances and are subject to different institutional constraints. Introduction Comparisons between the planning model in the US and other countries often provoke bewilderment, because the planning system in the US seems unique, if not incomprehensible to planners from other countries. Likewise, US planners often react with incredulity to the planning system of other countries, citing the vast structural or cultural differences that exist.

  • Gentrification As Global Habitat: a Process of Class Formation Or Corporate Creation?
    GentrificationBlackwell Publishing Ltd as global habitat: a process of class formation or corporate creation? Mark Davidson The relationship between gentrification and globalisation has recently become a significant concern for gentrification scholars. This has involved developing an understanding of how gentrification has become a place-based strategy of class (re)formation during an era in which globalisation has changed sociological structures and challenged previously established indicators of social distinction. This paper offers an alternative reading of the relationship between gentrification and globalisation through examining the results of a mixed method research project which looked at new-build gentrification along the River Thames, London, UK. This research finds gentrification not to be distinguished by the gentrifer-performed practice of habitus within a ‘global context’. Rather, the responsibility for gentrification, and the relationship between globalisation and gentrification, is found to originate with capital actors working within the context of a neoliberal global city. In order to critically conceptualise this form of gentrification, and understand the role of globalisation within the process, the urban theory of Lefebvre is drawn upon. key words gentrification globalisation habitus habitat urban development neighbourhood Dartmouth College, 6017 Fairchild, Hanover, NH 03755, USA email: [email protected] revised manuscript received 2 May 2007 of gentrifiers (Lees 2003; Butler and Lees 2006).
