NLUD Scoping Studyhttp://nlud.king.ac.ukResearchFindings and Ideas Emerging Tony Vickers tonyvickers@phonecoop.coop www.landvaluescape.org Kingston University Project Researcher AGI Seminar Mapping the Planning Pipeline
Aim today • Outline the methodology of the Study • Present findings • Share ideas gained through research • Explain why we focus on Planning Pipeline – not just PDL or “Full NLUD” • Stimulate discussion AGI Seminar Mapping the Planning Pipeline
What we did • ‘outsider’ bid Jan 2007 • Pitch emphasised LPA/GI policy issues • Analysed EP ‘operational’ NLUD survey 2005/6 • Piloted ‘strategic’ LA survey • Main survey Oct-Dec (38% / 152 LPAs) • Stakeholder interviews Nov-Jan (18) • LA visits Jan-March (15 = 25 LAs) • Workshops (2 – 6&10 March) • Literature review, correspondence AGI Seminar Mapping the Planning Pipeline
LA Survey findings • If ‘data were better connected to other information they hold’, LAs would give higher priority to NLUD (10:1) • Link NLUD to Plan monitoring (10:1) • PDL data on small sites are ‘robust and accurate’- 80% disagree (or don’t know) • Want ‘an online internet-based system’ for NLUD (2:1) • Want parcel/map-based returns (13:1) • 77% use planning applications to maintain PDL dataset • 1/3 use PDL returns to help with LDF/UCS/SHLAA • 1/3 use PDL data for nothing • ‘Develop a comprehensive and complete land use database from which PDL data could be derived’ (7:1) AGI Seminar Mapping the Planning Pipeline
The best LAs do it by… • A once-off thorough field survey • Maintain thro’ Apps • Corporate LLPG for all property-related functions – daily updates • Corporate GIS, kept up-to-date daily – all Apps included as parcels • NLUD return done as extract from GIS AGI Seminar Mapping the Planning Pipeline
Status of LAs’ GIS • None found without one • Most have Authority-wide GIS • GIS expertise mainly outside Planning • Strikingly high awareness of & high regard for NLPG and its importance for NLUD’s future • Most already create or acquire land polygons • NLIS, INSPIRE & PSI Directives: low awareness but high expectations of relevance to NLUD • MSA, Location Strategy & Transformational Government: very high expectations AGI Seminar Mapping the Planning Pipeline
Other stakeholders views • Distinction between ‘brown’ and ‘green’ unclear and not v. important to industry • Little faith in current NLUD figures, hence… • Almost no use for NLUD • Support need for PDL data – but also want whole ‘planning pipeline’ • Expect • LAs to remain source of data, but…. • no improvement unless tied to LDFs • Considerable support for market-driven dataset • Envisage wider uses for data + potential for public/private collaboration AGI Seminar Mapping the Planning Pipeline
Ideas for future • Spatial planning ‘domains’ • Two-level attribution of sites (EP ‘core’ and other) • Parcel-based data framework • Use LDF & development management processes • Plan Making (SHLAAs, EAAs etc) • Plan Monitoring (AMRs, ‘Planning 360’) • Plan Maintenance (1APP) • Use existing infrastructure • Policies (INSPIRE / PSI / MSA) • Data standards & structures (DNF, BS7666) • Channels (esd-toolkit, Planning Portal) • Products (MasterMap, LLPGs, NPAR?) • Make change-makers pay to record change!

Current NLUD-PDL PDL in database EP sites PDL missing AGI Seminar Mapping the Planning Pipeline
15-year planning pipeline LDFs >> SHLAAs PDL in database PDL missing AGI Seminar Mapping the Planning Pipeline
15-year actual urban land use change Land passing thro’ planning system >>1APP LDFs PDL in database PDL missing AGI Seminar Mapping the Planning Pipeline
All urban land Every record in NLPG +(?) MMAL2 PDL in database AGI Seminar Mapping the Planning Pipeline
Why NPPD? • Current NLUD-PDL system not fit for purpose • Exploits data LPAs already need to have • Robust PDL dataset a spin-off • Self-checking and updating • Minimum central infrastructure • Reinforces need for LAs’ corporate GIS • Meets wider needs of development industry AGI Seminar Mapping the Planning Pipeline
Issues • Who pays for… • Standard polygon data transfer software • Polygonisation of LLPGs • Retrospective site data capture • Who benefits and how much? • NPPD market analysis needed • Trading Fund model uncertainty • Who decides? • NLUD is EP responsibility • Spatial Planning Policy: CLG • Environmental & UK GI policy: Defra • Knowledge, PSI and Land Rights: Dept of Justice! • Foresight Study (of UK Land Use Futures): Dept of Innovation, Universities and Skills (sponsored by CLG & Defra) AGI Seminar Mapping the Planning Pipeline
Whither NLUD Full? Or ‘wither’?! AGI Seminar Mapping the Planning Pipeline
