Music and world-building in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia
This article investigates the perceived benefits of music community membership within a historical framework of music making in the same geographical locations. Research was carried out in the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Hunter Valley regions of New South Wales. These regions were selected because of their connection with ongoing historical research on the role of music in world-building for these communities in the early settler period. Coalmi…
New housing association development and its potential to reduce concentrations of deprivation: An English case study
Social housing across Western Europe has become significantly more residualised as governments concentrate on helping vulnerable households. Many countries are trying to reduce the concentrations of deprivation by building for a wider range of households and tenures. In England this policy has two main strands: (1) including other tenures when regenerating areas originally built as mono-tenure social housing estates and (2) introducing social ren…
Planning Gains, Providing Homes
Planning gain has long been used in Britain for infrastructure funding and has been increasingly used to secure land and funding from private developers for new affordable homes. This paper examines the theoretical and policy underpinnings of planning gain. It describes the growth in the number of new affordable, including intermediate, homes delivered through planning gain, the variations between planning authorities in the incidence of planning…
Delivering affordable housing through the planning system: Challenges and good practice
This paper presents the findings of recent research exploring how local authorities are delivering affordable housing through the planning system, focusing on their use of Section 106 (S106) of the Town and Country Planning Act (1990). Policy and practice vary between local authorities. While the amount of affordable housing delivered through S106 has increased, there is pressure on local authorities to improve performance further as affordabilit…
Job-Housing Mismatch: Affordability Crisis in Surrey, South East England
Rising housing costs and lack of affordable housing in London are affecting labour recruitment and retention, particularly in the public sector-the 'key-worker problem' of recent government statements. But housing and labour-market problems are not confined to London. In this paper we highlight the extent and nature of affordability, recruitment, and retention problems in a high-cost location outside the capital: Surrey in South East England. We …
The economic diversity of rural England: Stylised fallacies and uncertain evidence
Patterns and Concentrations of Disadvantage in England: A Rural-Urban Perspective
Concerns have been expressed with regard to the use of both single variables and indices in the assessment of disadvantage. In response, a 'bundles' methodology was adopted. Several variables were combined to define particular conditions acknowledged as representing the main elements posing a risk of disadvantage. Numbers of people facing these circumstances within particular locations were then identified. The approach offers a capability to rep…
Barriers to Participation in Residual Rural Labour Markets
Structural change in rural areas has led to a differentiation in the ranges of experience of rural life. Within generally prosperous localities, some individuals may be unable to achieve what is widely accepted as an adequate standard of living. This article focuses on the barriers that individuals face with respect to participation in residual local labour markets in rural areas. A variety of factors influence capacity to participate. Empirical …
An Exploration of 'Bundles' as Indicators of Rural Disadvantage
Indicators are increasingly used in the allocation of resources in addressing problems of disadvantage. The most commonly used indicators have generally been developed in relation to urban problems and there is a concern that this fails to reveal problems as experienced in rural areas. Many of the indicators that might be used are ambiguous and there appear to be few single indicators that adequately capture the complex nature of the problems fac…
Policy Review Section
In this issue of the Policy Review Section, Ian Scargill of the Department of Geography, University of Oxford, examines the manner in which French public administration is currently responding to the issue of local government fragmentation and has sought to address problems identified in the year long, 1993–94 debate on territorial planning. The article takes as its starting point the incompleteness of the French decentralization reforms of 1982–…
Land supply and housing: A case‐study
The objective of this paper is to examine the impact of land use planning controls on the supply, price and type of dwellings provided. It first reviews how the role of planning is viewed in Britain. It then examines the literature on both methodologies and outcomes to clarify which relationships are well documented and the merits of an eclectic approach to measuring these effects. The next two sections set out our hypotheses about the different …
Land-Use Planning, Land Supply, and House Prices
There are clearly significant social benefits to land-use planning, but there may also be significant private and social costs which need to be taken into account. In this paper we explore the relationship between land-use planning, the supply of housing land, and the supply and price of housing. It is based on two pieces of empirical research. In the first study, an investigation was conducted of the extent to which land supply, and particularly…

Job Creation and Job Displacement: The Impact of Enterprise Board Investment on Firms in the UK
MONK S. (1991) Job creation and job displacement: the impact of enterprise board investment on firms in the UK, Reg. Studies 25, 355–362. This paper reports the results of research into the job creation impact of local government initiatives in the form of enterprise board investment in firms. The research studied a sample of firms in receipt of loans and share capital and estimated the net additional jobs resulting from the investment. An attemp…
Manufacturing employment change within rural areas
Differences in the Profitability of the U. K. Manufacturing Sector Between Conurbations and Other Areas
The impact of the New and Expanded Town programmes on industrial location in Britain, 1960–78
Fothergill S., Kitson M. and Monk S. (1983) The impact of the New and Expanded Town programmes on industrial location in Britain, 1960–78, Reg. Studies 17, 251–260. Between 1960 and 1978 manufacturing employment in the New and Expanded Towns rose by nearly a quarter of a million relative to the national trend in this sector. Part of the increase resulted from the urban-rural shift in manufacturing which occurred throughout Britain, but 120–140,00…
