Abstract
This paper examines some of the issues surrounding the Leeds Development Corporation's work, in particular some of the claims made about improving the local planning process. The paper looks at the difficulties the Corporation encountered in getting its plans past vociferous resident opposition in one area, and its claims for improving the speed of determining planning applications in its main area of commercial potential. The emphasis within the analysis is on the discourses of failure and success used by those seeking to influence local and national debates around the efficacy of the Urban Development Corporation approach.
