The use of GIS with address-based information in planning

Article Abstract:

The Chorley Committee have advised that all UK addresses and postcodes are referenced onto a grid to simplify handling geographical data and to assist planners. The use of the Ordnance Survey's ADDRESS-POINT product allows Geographic Informational System (GIS) projects to be carried out with greater ease. It is possible to create three dimensional object scenes from a two dimensional GIS database with the ADDRESS-POINT and additional information found in the census. The ability to create three-dimensional scenes helps facilitate urban planning and decision making.

Challenge and creativity in postmodern planning

Article Abstract:

The role of US planners is increasingly as mediators amongst the different interest groups. They have a vital role in ensuring urban development serves the needs of the public, the authorities and other interested groups. Planning academies must ensure the work of practitioners is recognized along with academic study. Collaboration between the two approaches will assist planners in dealing with change. It is important for planners to be aware of the role of the public in planning decisions.

'High street' retailing in off-centre retail parks: A review of the effectiveness of land use planning policies

Article Abstract:

Recent trends in non-food retail developments in off-centre sites in the UK are reviewed, in the context of whether land use planning policies, aimed at restricting such growth, have been successful. The imposition of planning conditions is the main way of restricting off-centre schemes, but studies in south Wales, show that this is an ineffective method, often overruled by the more liberal policies of central government. Suggestions for local authority planning policy are made.
