ABSTRACT
Chapters 10 and 11 considered the development and implementation of devolution in Wales and Scotland after 1999. Chapter 7 explained the enhancement of regional planning across Britain, and Chapter 4 highlighted political and governmental commitments to devolution and decentralisation in Northern Ireland and in London. With so much devolution occurring to the planning polity, it is questionable whether Britain now possesses a national town and country planning system at all, since so much is changing spatially and within policy-making institutions and processes across different parts of the country. The planning polity now comprises at least four different systems within the four countries of the UK.
