Considering time in land use planning: An assessment of end-of-life decision making for commercially managed onshore wind schemes (2019)
Journal Article

Despite its ostensible future orientation, research on land use planning has given relatively little consideration to temporality, either empirically or conceptually. The need for analytical advances becomes clear when considering the treatment of ‘e...
