Understanding the tools for integrating land use decision-making

Demand has never been higher on England’s finite land, with 1.5 million new homes planned during this parliament alone, in the context of a changing climate. Yet decisions on land are not integrated, creating ever-more pressure on this finite resource. The current policy context in which land use decisions are being made is undergoing change at pace with major implications for England’s cities, towns and countryside. This research speaks to the challenge and considers the tools that enable integration of land use decision-making across sectors and scales.
