Land price and the viability of delivering affordable homes on ‘rural exception sites’ in England
Registered providers (RPs) of social housing struggle to build genuinely affordable homes in rural England’s private land market. Land allocated for market development commands a high price in amenity areas. Since 1991, RPs have developed homes on unallocated ‘rural exception sites’ (RESs) in villages, seeking affordable land on which to build homes for local need. However, landowner expectations of the price achievable for these sites have risen…

Social value and the disposal of public land for community-led housing
Access to land has long been a barrier to the growth of the community-led housing (CLH) sector in England. Bristol has recently emerged as a leading proponent through a public land disposal policy that prioritises CLH by recognising wider social value. In the case of Bristol’s policy, this paper recognises a transition towards social sustainability in regimes of public land disposal in this city. The findings indicate that bottom-linked governanc…
Securing affordable homes on ‘rural exception sites’ though negotiated land deals or compulsory land purchase
Land cost is a major barrier to the delivery of affordable housing in rural England. In response, planning authorities can grant exceptional permission for homes on unallocated land. ‘Rural exception sites’ may come forward where local need is established, where a community supports development, and where a landowner appears willing to sell at a price that supports affordability. This review examines the negotiated land deals at the centre of exc…

Enabling the delivery of rural affordable housing in England
In response to projections of future housing demand, public planning authorities allocate land for development within local plans. The process is top-down and public-sector led, corralling land value to selected locations in support of the infrastructure investments needed to progress development. But in rural areas in England, an unplanned, exceptional process of selecting land for affordable housing has existed since 1991. ‘Rural Exception Site…
Why the Car Is Not Always King in Global South Cities
Access to a private car has established itself as a critical control on mobility and access to opportunities for residents living in a diverse range of settings, globally. Across cities of the Global South, the benefits of private car access are often intensified by the absence of viable alternative modes of travel. This article explores the influence of private car access and mobility in relation to residents living in “ger district” areas of Ul…
Pandemic mobility, second homes and housing market change in a rural amenity area during Covid-19 – The Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales
The Covid-19 pandemic has been presented as a critical change driver for rural amenity areas, precipitating urban flight and a decentralisation of housing choice and investment. House prices in both near-urban and more distant rural markets saw considerable growth in 2020 and 2021, linked to a mix of second home investment, expanded demand for holiday letting, migration to exploit flexible-working opportunities, and homebuying for early retiremen…
Towards a virtual statecraft
In this paper we draw on the findings of a mixed methods research project that has examined the production, regulation, and delivery of housing in London. Our aim is to develop fresh insights into the growing mobilisation of numbers and targets in contemporary planning systems. More specifically, we bring two fields of literature into conversation. First, drawing on recent contributions from Pike et al. (2019) we develop their notion of ‘city sta…
From the ger districts to the city centre
This paper focuses on access, travel and social equity in the ger districts of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. These areas, radiating outwards from the central part of the city, are home to approximately 60% of Ulaanbaatar’s population and a considerable range of socio-economic groups (Byambadorj et al. 2011 Byambadorj, T., M. Amati, and K. J. Ruming. 2011. “Twenty-first Century Nomadic City: Ger Districts and Barriers to the Implementation of the Ulaanba…
Covid-19, second homes and the challenge for rural amenity areas
London’s King’s Cross redevelopment
Cities have long been subject to urban containment policies against urban sprawl. Climate change concerns have recently added to the imperative to densify urban space. Urban compaction is often pursued through the creation of ‘exemplar’ urban developments that superficially implement ‘best practice’ ideas from elsewhere. In this paper, we abandon the notion of ‘best practice’ in favour of context-sensitive ‘good practices’. Taking London’s King’s…
Second homes during corona - safe or unsafe haven and for whom? Reflections from researchers around the world
The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly slowed down, reduced, and changed the flows of tourism mobilities. While many national borders have been closed and/or regulated, the main emphasis has been on domestic travelling and tourism
Housing Access and Affordability in Rural England
A combination of development constraint, low wages in seasonal employment and market intrusion by more affluent households generates housing access and affordability difficulties in many rural amenity areas. In response, residents’ groups and public planners have sometimes sought to prioritise ‘local needs’, restricting the occupancy of new housing to key workers or others deemed ‘local’. Drawing on examples from England, this paper illustrates h…
Prioritising local housing needs through land-use planning in rural areas
Journey to Work Travel Outcomes from ‘City of Short Distances’ Compact City Planning in Tübingen, Germany
In the southern German city of Tübingen, a ‘city of short distances’ planning model has been applied to try to reduce the need to travel through the co-location of employment space with housing—a style of compact city planning reportedly influenced by Jane Jacobs’ principles for urban vitality. However, until now the impact of this mixed land use model on work travel patterns has not been systematically researched. This paper reports on empirical…
Self-build communities
© 2015 Taylor & Francis Group-build housing developments can bring together the cost and customisation benefits regularly attributed to self-build housing with a communitarian ethos associated with ‘intentional’ communities. This paper presents an initial examination of the rationale, motivations and social experiences of group-build housing from Germany, where over half of all new homes are produced independently from volume-build developers.

Limits to Growth
In the UK, the outward growth of settlements beyond their existing territorial boundaries has until recently been managed primarily through local negotiation between neighbouring authorities or by the coordination and impetus provided by strategic planning. The current overhaul of the planning system in England, with the removal of regional planning, has unlocked a debate over how ‘larger than local’ planning is undertaken and how cross-boundary …
