DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*: After half a decade of strong 'top dow
 n' policy and planning to promote housing supply a
 nd affordability in England\, we have from 2010 an
  abrupt change of policy. Decisions are to be devo
 lved to local level\, with no more government targ
 ets and the dismantling of regional planning. A fi
 nancial bonus is intended to incentivize local aut
 horities to agree to additional house-building. It
  is quite unclear a priori how this system will wo
 rk\, so it may be regarded as a large-scale social
 -economic (and environmental) experiment. This pap
 er will utilise a new subregional\neconomic market
  model to explore the affordability implications o
 f different patterns of local decision-making on h
 ousing land supply. It will also feed in a predict
 ed pattern of local decisions based on new opinion
  survey evidence and political voting patterns.\n\
 n*Biography*: Glen Bramley is Professor of Urban S
 tudies at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh\, wh

 ousing and urban studies. Recent work is focused p
 articularly on planning for new housing\, housing 
 need\, home ownership\, neighbourhood change\, urb
 an form\, quality of life\, poverty and the fundin
 g and outcomes of local services. His publications
  include Key Issues in Housing (Palgrave 2005)\, a
