Makers of the Residential Landscape

This paper investigates the activities underlying change and lack of change in the urban landscape. Two low-density residential areas in south-east England undergoing strong development pressures are examined and comparisons are made with findings from previous studies of town centres. The timing of attempts to initiate change in the study areas was strongly influenced by the family circumstances of owner-occupiers but few of their planning applications were implemented. In their attempts to restrain development Local Authorities became involved in protracted conflicts with property owners and developers, particularly where private individuals sought permission for more than one or two dwellings. The physical form of development was primarily determined by profitability to developers, who often submitted applications following outline applications by owner-occupiers. Non-local developers, mainly employing nonlocal agents, were in the majority, but they were less preponderant than in town centres. In the more accessible residential area, land was acquired by developers earlier in the pre-development process, non-local firms played a more dominant role, demolition was more prevalent, and a higher proportion of flats/maisonettes were constructed
