Abstract
This paper reviews empirical evidence from interviews with forty professionals, of increased central control over the Planning Inspectorate, an executive agency of the UK Government. It highlights the acute tensions for inspectors and the planning system of a blurring of lines between policy and administration: tensions that arise from the Inspectorate’s quasi-judicial function and culture and appearance of independence.
