Historically our planning system has given us the right to be heard in the decisions that affect us. It is also a cornerstone of our democracy. We can’t tackle poverty, inequality or climate change without it.
Yet the new White Paper takes that right away from us. The people who will benefit from the changes are the developers and their profits – at the expense of our local services, our green spaces, the quality of our homes.
People have a right to have a say over their future. People have a right to local democracy. Together we all need to make our voices heard.
We want to stand up for communities across England. Join us.
