We are would like to thank the Economic and Social Research Council for sponsoring the two research projects - Exclusive Space: networks of participation and forward planning, as part of the Local Governance Initiative (1994-1995), and Planning as Metaphor: mediating aspirations for community and environment (1996-1997) - which are reported in this book. We would also like to acknowledge the assistance of Terry Marsden who worked with us on the first of these projects. Most gratitude, however, must be extended to the research respondents in Buckinghamshire who gave so generously of their time, knowledge and hospitality. These respondents include planners at Buckinghamshire County Council and Aylesbury Vale District Council, participants in the Buckinghamshire Structure Plan review process, and the people of Haddenham. We would like to extend particular thanks to Chris Kennenford and Doug Bamsey who, on a number of occasions, answered our many (tiresome) questions with great patience. Our thanks are also due for the hospitality of the Buckinghamshire County and Aylesbury District councillors who accepted our presence at numerous meetings, and gave generously of their time in response to our requests. We should also particularly like to thank Renee and Mick Maguire for their unfailing generosity and friendship, and our friends in the Haddenham Village Society, the Protection Society, the Parish Council, the Haddenham Badminton Club and the many other villagers who made this study possible.
