photometry (from rest-frame UV–mid-infrared wavelengths allowing robust stellar masses to be derived), *Herschel* 250–500$\mu$m imaging (allowing bolometric luminosities and star formation rates to be derived) as well as high-resolution morphologies for a subset from the *Hubble Space Telescope* CANDELS and COSMOS ACS surveys.

In this paper, we present adaptive optics assisted integral field spectroscopy of nine star-forming galaxies selected from HiZELS. The galaxies studied here have H$\alpha$-derived star formation rates of 1–27M$_\odot$yr$^{-1}$ and will likely evolve into $\sim
$L$^{\star}$ galaxies by $z$=0. They are therefore representative of the high-redshift star-forming population. We use the data to explore the scaling relations between the star formation distribution intensity and gas dynamics within the ISM, as well as the properties of the largest star-forming regions. We adopt a cosmology with $\Omega_{\Lambda}$=0.73, $\Omega_{m}$=0.27, and H$_{0}$=72kms$^{-1}$Mpc$^{-1}$ in which 0.12$''$ corresponds to a physical scale of 0.8kpc at $z$=1.47, the median redshift of our survey. All quoted magnitudes are on the AB system. For all of the star formation rates and stellar mass estimates, we use a @Chabrier03 initial mass function (IMF).
