Abstract
This chapter examines the co-evolution between recent reforms to planning systems across the UK, and the growing influence and significance of private sector expert consultants. It shows that in the wake of austerity cuts, local authorities are being incentivised to act more entrepreneurially by increasing the amount of development in their areas and maximising planning gain returns. These reforms are creating new market opportunities for a growing consultancy sector and contributing to the gradual privatisation of the planning system. The chapter assesses the form and character of these changes, and their implications for how places are governed and planned.
