This paper compares approaches to planning and delivery of affordable
housing across England, Australia and New Zealand. While all three nations began with a
common starting point—early British town planning legislation—underlying differences in
urban regulation, property rights and housing provision soon emerged. However, signs of
convergence have lately re-appeared, as all three countries have responded to affordable
housing shortages by exploring new strategies to boost supply through the planning system.
In the tradition of comparative housing research, this paper examines these strategies in the
context of each country’s particular historical, socio-cultural, governance and urban
planning frameworks. Our analysis shows how differences in planning systems and
approaches to housing assistance can delimit opportunities to secure new affordable
homes, particularly in the context of increasing land values. Effective delivery of
affordable housing through the planning system depends on consistent and enforceable
policy articulation, government commitment, a mature affordable housing sector, and
particular market conditions
