Control and constraint -- Economic growth, delay and the level of detail -- The effect of planning on interest rates -- The Barker Review of Land Use Planning.
Demonstrates how the UK's restrictive planning regime undermines the competitiveness of our economy by increasing costs, reducing choice and inhibiting flexibility. Argues that the artificial reduction of land supply affects social mobility, causes the UK to lose out on numerous economic opportunities, reduces opportunities and leads to higher prices, leads to higher interest rates and affects quality of life. Calls for reform of the planning system.
