The impact of transmission lines on property values: coming to terms with stigma

The impact of transmission lines on property values: coming to terms with stigma - 2002 - Property Management 20(2) 2002, 137-152(16) .

The impact of power transmission lines on property values remains insufficiently explored and inconclusively theorised. Examines what appears to be a general phenomenon of price depreciation of land abutting power lines. A large scale international literature review is organised in terms of a thematic model as a prelude to a precis of key papers discussing the power line/property nexus. Examines the stigma issue which has different manifestations from its normal context involving contaminated lands. A speculative model is provided of the stigma apparently attaching to power lines and attendant installations. [Taken from journal abstract].
