Abstract
This chapter looks at planning for sustainable development (SD) in policy and practice in the UK. First, the interaction between planning and SD at the various levels in the UK is discussed. Three observations are made here: despite putting SD at the forefront of planning policy, current planning policy and guidance does not provide a clear framework for the delivery of SD; the current focus on neighbourhood (and communities) planning in England can be challenging for the delivery of SD in practice; and emerging evidence suggests that austerity cuts have hindered the ability of local planning to deliver SD in practice. Second, these claims are illustrated by looking at NW Bicester, the first eco-town in England. Conclusions reflect on planning for SD in the context of emerging institutional innovation in an austerity climate at the local level; and the challenges posed by communities in planning.
