Abstract

The Netherlands is seen by many as a ‘planners paradise’, with great governmental powers in spatial planning.2 However, since the mid-1980s many legislative reforms have taken place with the purpose to simplify the process of decision-making and speed-up plan-making. Simultaneously, the various tiers of government promoted a growing influence of private sector on spatial planning decisions. Therefore, the many changes in Dutch planning law following the crisis of the late 2000s, can be seen as a continuation of previous legislative reforms.
