Planning – The Tilted Balance and the Property Lobby

Planning for housing supply in England is governed by a presumption in favour of sustainable development, otherwise known as the ‘tilted balance’. The tilted balance makes the proving of harm that might result from a development much more onerous. Has the balance between public and property interests in planning tilted too far?

Recorded on February 24th 2022, this Leeds Beckett University Planning School webinar was Chaired by Dr Quintin Bradley, Senior Lecturer in Planning and Housing Studies at Leeds Beckett University.​ With guest speakers:

  • Bob Colenutt – Author of ‘The Property Lobby’;
  • Constanze Bell – Planning Barrister, King’s Chambers;
  • Emma Lancaster – Director, Quod Planning Consultancy.
