Research papers

Research based papers

Different types of articles and papers have been published on neighbourhood planning. Some are aimed at a more academic audience (but often have a greater analytical content), some are oriented to a practice audience. We list and  link to a selection of both broad types – as well as creating some short synopses or overviews to break down the  issues and  challenges on the research briefs page.
