Title: Historical context of land use and development controls
Abstract: In this chapter we present the historical context of land use and development controls which, with those controls over industrial activities discussed in Chapter 8, constituted early environmental regulation. We include not just town planning but also controls over use and development in rural areas, and we trace the roots of the different legal treatment accorded to these: the licence in the case of town planning, and the dependence upon voluntary (and undeniably more lenient) mechanisms such as payments as part of management agreements in the case of countryside designations. The modern forms of these controls are then discussed in Chapter 13 on planning and environmental protection and Chapters 15 and 16 on nature conservation and biodiversity.
