European Planning Studies, 2007, vol. 15, issue 1, 87-105

Abstract: Regulatory compliance has emerged as a central feature in the legitimization of the planning system, yet it remains relatively marginalized from academic scrutiny. This paper investigates the relationship between regulatory compliance and projects subjected to Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs). It reviews, through an empirical field study, the levels of conformity with EIA driven planning approvals and considers, with the assistance of inputs from experienced professionals and theoretical perspectives of regulatory compliance how these might be improved.
