The critique of planning and new proposals to reform the planning system and ‘rethink planning from first principles’ have led to the proposal for a regulatory zonal planning system, which it is claimed will create a faster and better planning system than the existing discretionary approach. But are these proposals based on an oversimplified understanding of the differences between discretionary and regulatory models, neglecting, for example, the negotiation between stakeholders and the flexibility that also exists in regulatory planning systems? This chapter will review the operation of the planning systems of Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland to reflect on the current debate on the reform of the planning system in England.
