However, in the same way that Abercrombie and others sought to plan post-war Britain in the midst of WWII, it is important to consider how both planning\/housing policy and the built environment profession could change post-coronavirus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog offers some potential insights which perhaps raise more questions than answers but these are still pressing and poignant issues to consider. One thing is clear, planners and the planning\/built environment profession (should) remain vital in a post-coronavirus world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pandemics and Planning: History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it is difficult to establish direct causation between progress in planning and pandemics, especially tracing the impacts of the Black Death when there was hardly any state control over the built environment, the Great Plague of London in 1665 followed by the Great Fire in 1666 clearly had an important impact on the more spacious rebuilding of the city as designed by Christopher Wren and others (Hall, 1998; Ogborn, 1998). Likewise, WWI and the \u2018Spanish\u2019 Flu of 1918-19, clearly informed Tudor Walter\u2019s Report (1918) and subsequent Addison Act of 1919, which resulted in much more spacious space standards for new social and private housing (Hall, 2014).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fascinating question is whether there may be a similar paradigm shift within planning post coronavirus? However, it is important to stress that these shifts often result from a \u2018conjunctional\u2019 crises or combination of events, like the Great Fire alongside the Plague, and WWI which prompted<br>a desire to build \u2018homes fit for heroes\u2019 alongside Spanish Flu (Peck and Tickell, 2012, p. 245; Inch and Shepherd, 2019, p. 1). In other words, change is not always inevitable, linear or teleological (one directional) although the culture in which shifts take place is very important.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Immediate changes: Planning policy and permitted development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Permitted development rights have already been introduced for the NHS and there maybe wider temporary rights introduced relating to vital institutions and industries, such as care homes, undertakers and key factories (e.g. those producing ventilators), especially if the virus persists with a second wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Short(er) term changes to planning and prosperity: Housing and high streets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another priority, as the lockdown begins to lift, is the completion of existing development sites although it remains to be seen how strongly the house-building industry recovers. One thing is clear, there is still a housing crisis and housing will probably remain a political priority. In terms of the High Street, there has clearly been a huge (further) shift to online retail and, with the social distancing measures likely to continue for some months, it is unlikely that there will be a swift retail revival, especially for pubs, restaurants and cafes, therefore exacerbating the High Street\u2019s decline. This means that planning for recovery and economic prosperity will probably become more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Indeed, with widespread job losses resulting from coronavirus and the lockdown, there will be more pressure on local authorities to allocate and approve the expansion of businesses and employment where the demand arises(as seen in Worcester City Council\u2019s approval at a virtual planning committee I recently listened to (Barnett, 2020b) of a new Lidl store). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spatially, given the shift of the economy towards online (and maybe an increase in industrial production due to the disruption to international<br>trade), this may result in warehouses and factories expanding, which are often located on the periphery of conurbations and at strategic transport locations. Alongside the speed and scale of the recovery of the house-building industry, these economic changes will have an important impact on the planning consultancy industry but, during this crisis, it has become apparent that public sector planners are \u2018essential\u2019 and may get enhanced powers to plan for economic recovery.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medium and longer term: Planners, property and place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The further we look into the future, the more difficult it is to predict but coronavirus may have important implications for space standards for housing and green space, despite the pressing housing crisis.  Firstly, the lockdown has demonstrated the necessity for each household to have enough domestic space, natural light and personal outdoor space, such as a balcony. I am so thankful for the garden \u2013 it must have been so difficult for people living in homes through lockdown without gardens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, although the notion of \u2018home working\u2019 has been critiqued conceptually as<br>restricted to professional workers compared to the millions of manual workers, the virus may have an impact on the spatial configuration of homes, especially flats. Indeed, the preference has been for<br>\u2018open plan\u2019 but demand for a discrete space, like an office\/living room often seen in Victorian homes, may increase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thirdly, having a garden or nearby green space has emerged as extremely important, as has been widely acknowledged by experts for many years (Salazar and Men\u00e9ndez, 2007; Gidlow and Ellis, 2011), especially when the parks were threatened with closure during the lockdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This could all have important ramifications for Permitted Development Rights of office buildings into residential which often have a terrible lack of outdoor amenity space (Clifford et al.,2018, 2019). Reflecting on these changes in my own area of research, Green Belts clearly rely on urban densification of existing urban land so accusations of \u2018people or town cramming\u2019 now have to be seriously acknowledged (for example: Evans, 1991; Madeddu et al., 2015), especially as the already strong societal preference for homes with gardens may increase through the growth in home working and worries about another lockdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If space standards are introduced, it maybe that the scale and density of urban development is also reduced potentially putting more pressure on the Green Belt. Conversely, as cities have been most affected by the virus, the popularity of urban living, combined with more flexible home working, may reduce development pressure in cities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, if the daily \u2018tidal flow\u2019 of commuters is reduced, the \u2018leapfrogging\u2019 of development also becomes less problematic, but this, in turn, could have important implications for the traditional \u2018CBD\u2019 (Central Business District), including demand for office space, retail and ancillary services. More broadly, this could have ramifications for cities benefiting from \u2018agglomeration\u2019 economics &#8211; the co-location of people and industry &#8211; and their role as the engines of the global economy (Glaeser, 2011).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Finally, in terms of the planning\/built environment profession, the trend towards home working, which has been more widely adopted in the public sector, may accelerate and become more widespread in the private sector. The planning process is clearly becoming more digitised, including<br>the consultation and planning committee process and, if the Civic Voice review finds these changes are successful (Edgar, 2020), this may lead to permanent changes in planning process. Although I missed \u2018seeing\u2019 the councilors at Worcester\u2019s planning committee, I thought the virtual format<br>worked very well and this was echoed by positive commentary in the local press (Barnett, 2020a).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: \u2018Make no little plans\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, this blog is just my personal views on how things may change. However, perhaps we all need to return more to the vision and ambition of the founding fathers of the planning system\/Victorian Housing\/Public Health Acts, like Howard and Unwin. Hopefully, one result will be<br>that we have more ambitious, strategic plans, like Abercrombie\u2019s Greater London Plan and that we follow Daniel Burnham\u2019s advice to make \u2018no little plans\u2019 (UK 2070 Commission, 2020, p. 1)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Charles<\/strong> <strong>Goode <\/strong>is completing his ESRC funded PhD on the Green Belt and the housing crisis.
