Project hindsight - post decision implementation
The journey from planning consent through to delivery and ongoing occupation / operation is under researched in studies of the development process. Project hindsight – a study of practitioner’s experiences of the implementation stage of nationally significant infrastructure projects – addresses this gap and provides policy and practice recommendations informed by a closer understanding of what drives successful delivery.

Dr Robert Richardson, University of Glasgow
Conceptualising 'street-level' urban design governance in Scotland
Drawing on collaborative case study research with a local authority, this paper develops understanding of how urban design is implemented through the planning system. The paper concludes that greater knowledge of the varied stakeholders who collectively deliver urban design, and how they interact, could help planners to address an often-lamented 'implementation gap' between the aims of urban design policy and the outcomes delivered.

The Role of Local Planning Authority Plan-Making in Rural Renewable Energy Production

The Role of Local Planning Authority Plan-Making in Rural Renewable Energy Production
A comparison of the policies of Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) responsible for rural areas within South East England to determine the extent to which they enable the acceleration of renewable energy (RE) development that mitigates climate change and promotes energy resilience. The study’s development and ratification of a criteria-based policy evaluation framework has the potential to contribute to widescale policy improvement and standardisation, applying positive weightings to ensure the expedition of RE delivery at the pace and magnitude required to address national net zero targets.
