PLANNING Queen's Speech confirms planning changes, Confirming Tory ‘Concreting Over Your County’ Policies


More Traffic Light Garbage to be fed to the unsuspecting public.

No Council Housing in their plan.

The Queen's Speech has revealed plans for a reorganisation of Britain's planning system, with a new traffic light system to be introduced, under which

 areas will be divided up by local councils into zones designated for "growth", "protection", or "renewal".

The policy will reward Tory donors from the development industry by allowing them to develop in high rate of return areas on the edge of Cities rendering local development plans of Towns and Parishes worthless.

Countryside campaigners reacted to the plans by warning they would lead to the "suburbanisation" of the countryside and "rural sprawl" without delivering

much-needed affordable housing. While they leave the  sites of one million homes they have planning permission on over the last 11 years of Tory rule to become overgrown urban wastelands.

 

Meanwhile, the Local Government Information Unit said the changes would "leave local government with the political liability on planning whilst depriving them of the powers to manage it effectively".

Former Prime Minister Theresa May also warned in the Commons that the reforms would "reduce local democracy" by automatically giving the green light to homes in areas earmarked for growth and who chooses the areas for growth? do you need to ask?
