GOSH is campaigning for sustainable open-space management, led by the community for the community in partnership with the council, to enable food growing and encourage biodiversity in the city of Hull. We firmly believe climate change and sustainability must be the foremost consideration in Planning decisions and we therefore support the Charter.

Local communities are being denied their democratic right to partake in decisions that affect their immediate environment. RAFF (Residents Action On Fylde Fracking) has always encouraged its members to take action and get involved in local matters. The new planning laws do not make provision for this.
There also seems to be no mention of the fact that an increase of effective integration of climate change and ecological matters into projects at the earliest appropriate stage enables better outcomes, reduced risk and cost.

We represent diverse community of local supporters. Such local residents have a stake in the way their neighbourhoods look and function, and a right to to respond to concerns, not to mention substantial expertise in the local geography. Planning for future developments and transport infrastructure must continue to be scrutinised democratically through local councils and public consultation.
Aylestone Meadows Appreciation Society (AMAS)October 30, 2020, 7:53 pm
We believe it is important for planning decisions to be properly scrutinised in an open and transparent manner. If these decisions are left to the organisations which have a clear vested financial interest, they will be biased and will not take proper account of environmental, ecological and conservation factors.

The proposed reforms to the Planning system are the biggest challenge to democracy that are currently being put forward by this government. These reforms are rapidly heading towards even greater autocracy. The aims they are claiming to propound are spurious and meaningless and are purely included to attempt to give good reasons for bad legislation. This will result in a charter for developers to build whatever they wish, wherever they wish, whenever they wish with no thought to true affordable housing, the economy – other than their own, the environment, existing residents, countryside, habitats, pollution, quality of build. The many key workers of cities, towns and villages will still not be able to afford to buy their own home or be able to afford the uncontrolled rents since the deregulation of the Housing Associations that at being run for profit by large ‘friendly to this government’ overseas, and a few home grown conglomerates, to provide unregulated sub standard accommodation for vast profit – some at the expense of the tax payer – that will become the slums of today and tomorrow. A fine legacy for this government with purely self interest and ‘party donations’ at the heart of these reforms.

The new planning proposals will be a developers charter. The planning regulations as they stand can and are being manipulated to disempower at a neighbourhood level. The GMSF has been used by Rochdale council to bulldoze through proposals which have nothing to do with the principles of the GMSF but everything to do with increasing council tax and new homes bonus take by building on precious and protected green belt land. This is evident in the wholesale loss of green belt which is protected for a purpose, such areas are the lungs of the borough for all and once gone are gone forever. It is not necessary when so much brown field is available. Nowhere is the financial motive mentioned in any of the GMSF papers for any of the green belt site proposals. This is typical of the smoke and mirrors which characterises the whole process, the GMSF is a huge exercise in deception and misinformation with regard to the potential green belt loss. The lack of transparency and authoritarian imposition of decisions undemocratically decided will only get worse with the new bill.

The mobilization of citizens is strategic for local and global development. Reconquest of the common good shared and planned together in all places in Europe is a key point of democracy
