This is sadly a common struggle around Europe, and we should all be worried about it, especially now.

I am concerned that the environment will be pushed to the background as priority is given to commercial and housing applications. I am also concerned that social housing, affordable housing will not be prioritised. •I would like local people to make decisions. •I would like planning decisions that turned down development that encroached on Green Belt land. • I would like local councils to be able to agree plans for improvement of housing stock in cities, towns, and villages on brownfield sites. These plans should be out and out providing housing that is affordable and necessary, not developments for those who already have means.
