Research Interests

Quintin's research into neighbourhood and community planning has been successful in increasing the number of disadvantaged communities who have benefited from participation in the town and country planning system.The immediate impact has been felt in Leeds which now has the highest number of deprived communities participating in neighbourhood plans of any metropolitan borough.

He is currently working with local groups in Greater Manchester who are participating in the drafting of a new Spatial Framework. Research findings from his research are being disseminated in order to shape the new draft Spatial Framework and to improve the organisational and lobbying abilities of the community network.
