Abstract

Docherty I. and Mackie P. Planning for transport in the wake of Stern and Eddington, Regional Studies. The recent Stern and Eddington Reports for the UK Treasury emphasize the significance of the linkages between transport, land use, the environment, and the economy. Against that background, the purpose of this paper is to consider the future of transport planning in England given the liberalizing thrust of the Barker Review on land-use planning and the subsequent White Paper Planning for a Sustainable Future (2007). In reviewing the demographic and economic assumptions of the White Paper, it is concluded that in certain respects there are important mismatches between the emerging government policy on strategic planning and the Stern and Eddington Reports.

Docherty I. et Mackie P. Planifier le transport à la suite des rapports de Stern et d'Eddington, Regional Studies. Les récents rapports Stern et Eddington, rédigés au nom du ministère des Finances au Royaume-Uni, soulignent l'importance des liens qui existent entre le transport, l'occupation du sol, l'environnement et l'économie. Sur un tel fond, cet article cherche à considérer le futur de la planification du transport en Angleterre étant donné l'impulsion libéralisée donnée par la Barker Review sur l'occupation du sol et vu le projet de loi ultérieur Planifier un avenir durable (2007). En faisant la critique des suppositions démographiques et économiques du projet de loi, on conclut qu'il y a à certains égards d'importantes disparités entre la politique gouvernementale sur la planification stratégique et les rapports Stern et Eddington.

Docherty I. und Mackie P. Verkehrsplanung im Anschluss an Stern und Eddington, Regional Studies. In den jüngsten Berichten von Stern und Eddington für das britische Finanzministerium wird die Bedeutung der Verknüpfungen zwischen Verkehr, Landnutzung, Umwelt und Wirtschaft betont. Vor diesem Hintergrund soll mit diesem Beitrag die Zukunft der Verkehrsplanung in England untersucht werden, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Liberalisierungsbemühungen im Barker-Gutachten zur Planung der Landnutzung sowie in der anschließendem Weißbuchplanung für nachhaltige Zukunft (2007). Nach einer Überprüfung der demografischen und wirtschaftlichen Annahmen des Weißbuchs ziehen wir den Schluss, dass die entstehende Regierungspolitik zur strategischen Planung hinsichtlich bestimmter Aspekte erheblich von Sterns und Eddingtons Berichten abweicht.

Docherty I. y Mackie P. Planificación para el transporte tras Stern y Eddington, Regional Studies. En los recientes informes de Stern y Eddington para el Ministerio de Hacienda del Reino Unido se pone de relieve la importancia de los vínculos entre transporte, uso del suelo, medio ambiente y economía. Con estos datos, en este artículo analizamos el futuro de la planificación del transporte en Inglaterra, teniendo en cuenta el empuje liberal del Informe Barker sobre la planificación del uso del suelo y la posterior Planificación del Libro Blanco para un Futuro Sostenible (2007). Al revisar las hipótesis demográficas y económicas del Libro Blanco, concluimos que en ciertos aspectos existen importantes incompatibilidades entre la nueva política gubernamental sobre la planificación estratégica y los Informes de Stern y Eddington.

Notes

Although the proposals for new approval processes for major infrastructure development in the Planning White Paper (and subsequent Planning Bill) also apply to Wales, most of the discussion in the White Paper is on reform of the planning system in England.

That said, many of the largest brownfield plots, such as the disused military and health sites identified by the government in its preamble to its legislation on housing introduced to Parliament on 11 July 2007, are detached from existing settlements and transport links.

Also note that Marks and Spencer's much vaunted ‘Plan A’ for carbon neutrality does not include the transport-derived emissions of customers' trips to and from the company's stores (Docherty and Shaw, Citation2008).
