In recent years, empirical studies of the motives and behaviour of landowners have helped enlighten theoretical understandings of the process of land supply for urban development. Structuralist and behaviourist approaches have both been used in empirical work. This paper presents the results of recent research on the involvement of landowners in the local planning process. The research points to a much greater variety of landowner behaviour than either acknowledged by structuralist typologies or contained within behaviourist characteristics. Involvement in the local planning process would, however, appear to be an early indicator of later activity by the landowner in the development process. Such early warnings may be useful in enabling landowner behaviour to be predicted.
