Ball, M. J., (2010) Housing supply and planning controls: the impact of development control processing times on housing supply in England. Report. National Housing and Planning Advice Unit pp74.

Abstract/Summary

The National Housing and Planning Advice Unit commissioned Professor Michael Ball of Reading University to undertake empirical research into how long it was taking to obtain planning consent for major housing sites in England. The focus on sites as opposed to planning applications is important because it is sites that generate housing.
