Description

There is a common assumption in public discourse that support or opposition for local housing development has a significant impact on whether permissions are granted by decision makers in Local Planning Authorities (LPAs).

There is also a common perception that local decision makers in areas of high housing need may not be granting the permissions needed to deliver the homes we need.

However, there is surprisingly little research into support for local development and its effect on decision making. We aim to conduct research in order to identify: a) if decisions are impacted by support or opposition; b) if so, to understand the reasons behind this; and c) to help identify ways to encourage greater support for local housing development in areas of high housing need.
