Doomed to delay

Article Abstract:

There is still considerable controversy surrounding the urban development plan for Leeds, England. There is anger among the landowners whose sites were among the 172.8 ha recommended for deletion from the category of employment land. The decision by planning inspectors to extend the lifetime of the urban development plan beyond the original 2006 to 2016 has not been universally welcomed in the area. Other areas of concern include the fact that several sites supported by the inspectors come within the statutory green belt category or are categorized as interim green belt.
