It has also raised wider and more philosophical questions concerning the scope of state intervention into private lives and personal choices. This paper builds upon a developing body of research and specifically considers the emergence and application of regulatory and policy measures in the management of contested use/product types with a focus upon those with health implications. The work explores their future in the context of the scope of state intervention, the role and formation of policy, and the difficulty of translating policy intention through decision making and new regulatory mechanisms. Within this, the paper considers the wider problems of creating an effective legal framework that concerns lifestyle choices and product availability that challenge codification by use categorisation.

The programme, originally established in 2000 under the title the Wales Planning Research Programme, is intended to meet the need for evidence based land use planning policy development within the context of the Welsh Assembly Government's principles and priorities. The Assembly Government's Planning Division is responsible for administering the Wales Planning Policy Development Programme and ensuring that any research or policy implementation work meets the needs of the Welsh Assembly Government. Research is carried out predominantly by external commission, although some projects are undertaken collaboratively with other organisations Key Objectives • To focus on distinctive Welsh issues • To support the development of planning policy • To provide management information for land use planning policy development • To develop best practice guidance. In 2005 a quinquennial review of the research programme was carried out. This identified a number of recommendations including the renaming of the programme to enable not only the funding of planning research but the implementation of policy developed from it.

From the perspective of Development Management a paradox has emerged however; the more the Government attempts to simplify the decision making system and facilitate development, the more complex the system has become. This can be clearly seen in the manner in which the Permitted Development rights planning permission arrangements have been revised and the application of decision making mechanisms extended. This paper will explore how new Permitted Development rights have been created, existing rights extended (some permanently some temporarily), the prior approval process has increased in prominence and usage, and the use of Local Development Orders extended. The paper will present the impact of these changes, including the unintended consequences and potential to undermine the effective management of the built and ...

Europeanization and globalisation are influencing planning but also planning education. The paper discusses how six universities from six different countries go into partnership to take into account this trend and elaborate a common pedagogic module through an intensive programme. The intensive programme achieves these objectives of the Europeanization of planning but also some specific ones which each university would not be able to achieve separately. The process of the intensive program itself pushes students to increase the quality of their proposals. It obliges students to work on unprecedented cases and to collaborate

The effect of place on health is an important strand from conceptualisation to policy development and implementation (Macintyre et al, 2002). Evidence shows that spatial planning and urban design in our towns and cities has a profound effect on the risks and challenges to population health. The WHO Collaborating Centre for Healthy Urban Environments has been leading the development ...
