  • Strategic Spatial Planning – a Case Study from the Greater South East of England
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Strategic spatial planning – a case study from the Greater South East of England David Church A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology of the London School of Economics for the degree of Master of Philosophy, London, July 2015 2 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the M.Phil degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 60 973 words. 3 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to investigate, through the method of a case-study at two levels (development site and sub-region), the historical development of and current mechanisms used to deliver strategic spatial planning (large scale housing development). The theoretical underpinnings of strategic spatial planning are examined, including some key planning paradigms such as the ‘green belt’, ‘city regions’ and ‘spatial planning’. The key dichotomy of current policy – the ‘desire to devolve’ through localism and the counteracting ‘centralising tendency’ as expressed through urban containment policy is then discussed.
