Sustain: the alliance for better food and farmingOctober 14, 2020, 3:54 pm
Sustain believes the planning system should be responsive to communities that want to shape the place they live to bring about sustainable local food systems. Places where policy makers, growers, food retailers, food businesses and consumers work in partnership will be healthy communities. Communities should have a voice not only at the policy stage but also in responding to details of a specific proposal to ensure all impacts have been taken into account and all possible opportunities have been identified. Food partnerships can bring a wealth of expertise to decision making. For more information on our position regarding the proposed planning reforms, please see: https://www.sustainweb.org/news/oct20-planning-for-the-future/

A planning system in which all communities can meaningfully participate is an essential aspect of a democratic society.

We support a "presumption against development". That does not mean no development should happen but rather that the onus should be on the proposer to demonstrate that the development is needed and also has no more than a neutral environmental impact.

It is people in communities who know the area best and if developers worked with them we would get better development.

The right to a decent environment in all its forms is basic and fundamental, as is the right to have a say over how that environment is used. We should see this as a common treasury for all – not a means of making profits for a few.

The planning system ought to be based on some basic universal and long lasting democratic rights for citizens to be heard, participate in and shape the planning system and its decisions. Those rights should transcend the political priorities of government, especially now, when politicians will claim the need to act swiftly in emergencies, yet are only reinforcing the essentially undemocratic forces which shape the places where we live, over which we have no say or control, and the consequences of which may last for a generation eg. we are going to start fracking again!

We need to support this Charter and to do the same in our own local authority.
