Planning rights: what are they, and how to use them

Abstract

Planning rights are institutional rights: the rights of affected parties in a specific planning system. Three kinds of planning rights are identified: 1) abstract-general; real planning rights in a specific planning system: 2) positive and 3) potential. Positive planning rights are recognized and enforceable; potential planning rights are suggested, but not recognized. Planning rights can be ascertained for a particular planning system; advocates and communities can use them in three ways: 1. Consciousness-raising and empowerment; 2. Promoting social justice: political action to turn potential into positive planning rights. 3. Advocacy and defense: contesting plans and actions that violate planning rights.
