 he University of Ulster on July 1\, 2008. He started his career in the Dep
 artment of Land Economy at the University of Aberdeen. He was subsequently

 ersity of Dundee. Immediately prior to moving to Ulster he was Professor o
 f Planning in the Department of Civic Design at the University of Liverpoo
 l. His research and publication interests include the relations between pu

 nd the efficiency and effectiveness of new planning and regulatory arrange

 f the Commonwealth Association of Surveying and Land Economy (CASLE). He i
 s currently a member of the Best Commission into the future of housing in 
 Northern Ireland.\n\n_About the seminar:_ Land use planning legislation is
  continually subject to amendment as land and property development pressur
 es change\, social and economic circumstances evolve\, environmental prior
 ities emerge and societal expectations shift. In the devolved UK\, land us
 e planning reforms have been put into effect in differentiated ways and ti
 melines. This applies in England\, Wales and Scotland. The intellectual ra
 tionales for the modernisation of land use planning has included seeking e
 fficiency gains in the administration of land use planning policy and deci
 sion making\; and facilitating more effective land use planning outcomes\,
  which has included the incorporation of ideas associated with spatial pla
 nning. Reforms have sought greater certainty and consistency for private s
 ector interests\; securing a more appropriate balance between economic and
  environmental matters\; and promoting greater transparency and civil enga
 gement in land use planning. The reforms have involved combinations of new
  measures\, architectures\, cultures and incentives to recast the operatio
 nal relationship between land use planning and land and property developme
 nt. This paper considers a specific attempt to achieve such a new operatio
 nal relationship in Northern Ireland. Reform has come later to this specif
 ic case study\, a result of specific political and civil circumstances. Wh
 ilst the Planning (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 has been modified in an in
 cremental way to adjust to evolving societal requirements a more deliberat
 e reform is now underway. This has involved a modernising process across l
 ocal and regional governance\, strategic spatial planning\, community plan
 ning and statutory land use planning.
