In this concluding section, Chapter Fifteen draws together the themes that run through the book to question whether a more progressive form of localism can emerge from the practices of neighbourhood planning. Drawing on the debates and evidence presented in the preceding chapters, Quintin Bradley and Sue Brownill discuss the possibilities for new forms of democratic engagement and a planning practice that is informed by place attachment and focused on delivering social purpose. They explore the extent to which this progressive potential can be realised within the current constraints of localism apparent in England and elsewhere. The aim of this section is to clarify the emerging counter-narratives of localism and neighbourhood planning, to reassert their significance in an international context, and to identify the progressive outcomes and potential. While neighbourhood planning may or may not represent ‘power to the people’, it is obvious that it has changed the landscape and the dynamics of planning, and will do so in ways that will continue to impact on planning thought and planning practice for many years to come.
