Small is beautiful or bigger and better? Expanding permitted development rights and the impact of housing quality and health in England
Planning and health: Defining the limitations of regulation and the discretionary context at the micro/site scale
Planning, at its most basic, is about making better places. In recent years, there has been a positive renewed focus on strengthening the links between planning and the promotion of well-being and good health outcomes. This is a welcome emphasis with origins relatable to the health narrative in the 1909 Housing and Town Planning Etc. Act. Within the post-1947 Town and Country Planning Act context, planning in some respects regressed to a land-use…
Rethinking regulation: The mundane turn in planning
Credibility without legitimacy? Informal development in the highly regulated context of the United Kingdom
Urban planning as an enabler of urban health: Challenges and good practice in England following the 2012 planning and public health reforms
This article synthesises the challenges faced by the English (urban) spatial planning system to become an enabler of urban health and explores some keys features of the evidence base, policy tools and policy implementation issues that urban planners need to be aware of to become health enablers.

Through the analysis of key cases in England, this paper identifies that regulation…

The study also examined if these relations were mediated by parental knowledge of youth whereabouts and activities, as well as if these relations differed for subgroups of youth regularly …
The Origins of Aesthetic Thought in Ancient Greece: Matter, Sensation, and Experience
This substantial, ambitious, and wide-ranging book is the first in a series of three planned volumes on the origins and evolution of ancient aesthetic inquiry, building on Porter’s extensive earlier publications in this field. The author argues that our understanding of ancient art and ancient aesthetics has been overinfluenced by the formalist and idealist approaches of Plato and Aristotle and that the dominance of these philosophers has obscure…
