The Spatial, Material and Temporal Dimensions of Planning Regulations: A Legal Geography Perspective

Neil Harris

Planning Theory & Practice, 2023, vol. 24, issue 1, 80-96

Abstract: The field of legal geography provides useful concepts for analysing the spatial, material and temporal dimensions of planning law. This article explores the spatialities, materialities and temporalities embedded in planning regulations. It examines the “things” written into planning regulations and the spatial – as well as social and temporal – relationships and arrangements established among these things. A framework is derived from legal geography to identify the objects, scales, units, boundaries, actors, and social and spatial relationships written into planning regulations. The article identifies a research agenda for further work in examining planning regulation through the lens of legal geography.
