Abstract
This study assesses how effective the planning system is in managing the risks associated with major hazard sites. Through a number of research strands, it explores how the planning system evaluates risk factors through policies, processes and decision-making, and the system's relationship with external expert bodies and parallel regulatory regimes. In particular, the study draws upon analysis of planning appeal decisions, a review of Development Plan policies, and a survey of stakeholders. With regard to a series of research questions, the study discusses the factors that lead to an under- representation of risk factors within the current planning system. Finally, the study identifies the potential of a spatial planning approach to facilitate more collaborative working practices, and improve the planning system's ability to make judgements about the risks associated with major hazard sites, and attempts to mitigate the risks in and around such sites.
