Taking planning seriously: Compulsory purchase for urban planning in the Netherlands
Highlights Studying urban policy instruments reveals novel insights about Dutch planning. Landowners may evade compulsory purchase by realising the plan themselves. The Dutch Crown dismissed 72% of self-realisation claims between 1995 and 2012. The self-realisation principle puts planning above private property interests. This principle may strengthen rather than weaken Dutch urban planning.
Abstract Public policy instruments such as compulsory purchase frame the relationships between authorities and those affected. In Dutch planning local authorities may not issue compulsory purchase orders if landowners are able to realise the plan themselves. This self-realisation principle has been strongly criticised. However, the arguments are not based on a study of compulsory purchase in practice. This paper fills this gap by analysing both the historical path of compulsory purchase and the Royal Decrees on compulsory purchase issued in the Netherlands between 1995 and 2012 in which the parties concerned claimed self-realisation. The analysis revealed that 72% of the self-realisation claims assessed by the Crown were dismissed. Consequently, the impact of this principle does not bear out the expectations of the critics. Indeed, it may strengthen rather than weaken the position of planning in relation to landowners. The paper also shows the merit of an instrumental approach in the context of urban and regional studies.
