Series: Housing Studies ; 18(2) March 2003, 201-217(17)Publication details: 2003Subject(s): Summary: Compares recent experience in the use of the planning system to facilitate the provision of affordable housing in rural areas of Scotland and England. Summarises key issues from the relevant literature, sets out the scale of need for rural affordable housing and the scale of delivery in both countries. Advances the hypothesis that Scotland, although a more rural country, has made less use of planning policy to tackle the need for rural social housing. Sees in both countries the environmental sustainability objective of planning policy as a major reason for the scale of provision lagging behind perceived need.
