Abstract

Although some of the major cities of the United Kingdom such as Glasgow, Birmingham and Manchester have launched own policies and plans aimed at reversing their relentless physical and economic decline already in the late 1980s, it is with the gradual reform of the territorial government that began in the next decade that the urban renaissance process, a movement that has become widespread nationally, found its own institutional framework. To better grasp the scope of the changes introduced by the New Labour executive of Tony Blair, it is therefore useful to give a brief account of the planning system in force in England before the important changes made by the ‘Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act’ of 2004.

Fußnoten
1
The districts are divided into metropolitan, non-metropolitan districts and boroughs of London (established in 1965); each district may also have the title of borough, or royal borough or city. Finally, in some cases, there is a further administrative layer below the district level: the civil ­parishes. This is the civic equivalent of the ancient parishes and represents local communities.
 
2
Sometimes the transportation plan was addressed in a specific document, the Regional Transport Strategy (RTS), which became mandatory with the first reform of PPG11 (concerning the Regional Planning Guidance) introduced in 2000 by the DETR (Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions).
 
3
The act establishing the Regional Development Agencies is the Regional Development Agencies Act of 1998. The creation of the London Development Agency dates back to July 2000.
 
4
The Department of Transport, Local Government and the Regions (DTLR) was the result of an intermediate stage in the reorganisation of administrative responsibilities. The DTLR was founded in 2001 by the former Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR), itself established in 1997 from the union of the first English Ministry of the Environment – the Department of Environment (DoE), founded in 1970 – and the Department of Transport. The DTLR was later abolished just a year after its formation in 2002, and its responsibilities were absorbed by three other entities: the Department for Transport (DfT); the Lord Chancellor’s Department, which has competences in the electoral and party financing; and the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM), which was the executive body of the Prime Minister. The latter has been replaced in 2006 by the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG).

The counties still have the responsibility to draw up the Minerals and Waste Plans, possibly in conjunction with the district authorities through the so-called Joint Committees. These committees are optional and may also be set up to prepare the Local Development Framework.
