The government’s planned National Planning Policy Framework is a step in the right direction, but policy makers must ensure they get the incentives right, and that decisions are made locally.
  • Leunig, Tim (2011). While Cameron’s vision is seriously constrained by the economy, his government’s advantage is that the alternative is still tainted by the past.
