PESTER-ing for integration: Closing the planning-delivery gap in integrated water management, experiences from Ashford

Ward, S; Shirley-Smith, C; Butler, D

Abstract

Planning and delivery are two very distinct, but inherently related, phases of the urban growth and integrated water management (IWM) process, whether creating conventional, integrated or sustainable urban environments. The journey from the planning stage, when stakeholders’ aspiration and enthusiasm is high, to the delivery stage, when partnerships can become strained and resources exhausted, can take a number of different pathways. These pathways can be influenced by numerous externalities and lead to different end points, which may not necessarily achieve
desired objectives. This study analyses the journey towards IWM in Ashford, Kent, UK, by utilising the ‘PESTER’ framework to assess externalities influencing the journey from planning to delivery. Insights into influences on the journeys’ trajectory are outlined, recommendations for modifying the pathways suggested and the implications for different end points discussed.
