Abstract
This paper examines the potential role of a national spatial planning framework for environmental resources and energy in the United Kingdom. Trends in energy consumption and selected environmental impacts for the United Kingdom are presented, followed by discussion of the institutional arrangements for policy and action in relation to environmental resources and energy. After considering recent national policy responses on energy and environment issues, the paper discusses the merits of a national spatial planning framework for environmental resources and energy and identifies a number of principles on which the framework might be built.
