The referendum of 23 June 2016, in which the UK voted to leave the European Union, has potentially
far-reaching implications for planning, especially its interface with environmental policy. While the five
months since the referendum show stability in the worlds of planning practice, moves to renegotiate
the UK’s relationship with Europe raise a number of important questions: will we see an erosion of
the firm environmental standards and targets characteristic of EU environmental policy? Will business
interests and infrastructure proponents be successful in arguing that Brexit requires yet further growthsupporting
measures? How will the evident salience of immigration, sovereignty and identity concerns
shape planning and environmental policy? Will the devolved governments thwart or redirect the ‘leave’
process? Alongside responses to specific institutional changes, planning and environmental bodies
will need to respond to a political context in which elites are mistrusted, the benefits of globalisation
and supra-national governance are questioned, and ‘putting Britain first’ is a discourse with increased
traction.
