Abstract
Abstract The typical conception of housing land release in England is of a non‐social, technical exercise which balance the various, often conflicting claims of rural conservation, of global housing needs and of non‐residential land uses. A rural housing needs policy, introduced in 1989, marks a potentially significant breach in the conventional wisdom that planning controls should only be concerned with the physical characteristics of buildings and of land. But the rural needs policy is unsuited to general application in its present form. If the intention is to use town planning to reduce the land cost of social housing, more consideration should be given to new forms of land taxation and public land ownership.
