Capturing or compensating? Comparing legitimacies, legitimations and rationales of added value capture instruments
The development of land leads to immense increases in land value. Across different planning systems, there are calls for this revenue to be used to enable planning gain for the general public budget. This can be achieved through the use of added value capture: a policy approach rooted in the notion that public action should generate public benefit. Planning literature hypothesises that the successful introduction and implementation of added value…
Independent investigation in marine spatial planning
Public Inquiry is an established process for effective testing and scrutiny of plans in terrestrial planning and is regarded as a means of providing credibility and accountability. Independent Investigation is its marine equivalent and was included as a provision in the UK marine planning regime and subsequent legislation since its inception. However, it has been noticeably absent in practice. This paper investigates the reasons behind this situa…
Pathways towards integrated cross-border marine spatial planning (MSP)
Marine Spatial Planning is labelled as ‘an idea whose time has come’ based on its applicability to address spatial conflicts and deliver sustainable use. Legislation such as the EU MSP Directive 2014/89/EU and the UK Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 requires that neighbouring marine spatial plans are coherent and coordinated to address cross-border issues. However, the implementation of MSP in cross-border areas is complex due to different admi…
Institutional barriers to integrated marine spatial planning on the island of Ireland
Developer contributions and community benefits
Developer contributions have a rich history in all UK jurisdictions, other than in Northern Ireland (NI). This paper presents a moment in NI’s planning modernisation in which a scheme of developer contributions has been introduced, primarily by Belfast City Council. There has been little scholarship devoted to NI’s planning reform, however, there has been considerable attention directed to the increasingly neo-liberal governing landscape in which…
Marine Spatial Planning, Brexit and the island of Ireland
Brexit poses major institutional and governance challenges for the island of Ireland, not least in the area of Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) and the cooperative governance and integrated management of shared marine spaces and ecosystems. To date, MSP scholarship has not delved into the complex processes that construct marine borders and has failed to acknowledge how the same border may have different boundary qualities across a range of instituti…
Fostering coastal community resilience
There are new, and increasing, pressures facing coastal communities, including socio‐economic and environmental change, exploitation of resources, urban development and the predicted impacts of climate change. The cumulative and interacting effect of these challenges may result in socio‐economic and physical decline. This paper responds to calls for more detailed investigation into coastal regeneration by providing empirical evidence (interviews,…
