Abstract: The author examines some recent changes in government policy in England relating to planning control over new retail development. In so doing, he investigates tensions between the government's overall economic policy and its land-use planning policy, particularly that involving development of large-format stores. The influence of interest groups, through processes of research and lobbying of government departments, is traced. The author then discusses the extent to which seemingly incompatible positions have been resolved in interdepartmental discussion, involving typical ‘British compromises’. One result of this process appears to be the formulation of ambiguous and unclear policies, which may have to be modified again in the near future.
