The Peoples Hub has been built to help people and to love the planet, and fully support this campaign. Greenwashing has become the new norm and it is unacceptable. More power needs to be given to / back to the people to improve communities, now and for generations to come. Ethics and transparency are key.

Fuel Poverty ActionMay 27, 2021, 2:12 pm
Fuel Poverty Action is particularly concerned about regeneration plans busting up communities and taking away people’s support networks, leading to more expensive housing and heating. Even building fabric is not necessarily more energy efficient as claimed, and there are huge carbon costs from reconstruction. Communities must have the right to make informed decision themselves.
Chalgrove Airfield Action GroupMay 6, 2021, 12:04 pm
Chalgrove Airfield Action Group has been representing the residents of Chalgrove and the surrounding villages and parishes to ensure that local planners understand and recognise the depth of opposition to placing a disproportionately large car-based settlement in an isolated rural setting. We need planners to understand that our objections may not be couched in idealised planning language, but are absolutely clear in the reasons why this is a terrible idea. We know our area better than you do – we know the chaos and environmental destruction this will cause. Listen to us.

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.

We live in a democracy. Why try to change this? Your children won’t thank you!

It is amazing that those who don’t live in an area and have no vested interest in ensuring the needs of the residents are met and that they have a say in what happens are are making decisions which are life-changing. How is this democratic?

I firmly believe corporate greed will destroy the environment and suck all the money out of communities.

More communities need to a e more say on local development in their neighbourhoods.

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…

This just makes sense!!

Lizzie B

I fully support this charter.

Brian C

If we cant have a say in what is built and where how can we possibly influence climate change and social housing. Central government needs to realise that the general public are concerned about the general health of the environment and future growth needs to consider this. Buildings should be…

Martin M

I am strongly opposed to the stripping away of what are already weak and inadequate powers for people and organisations to participate meaningfully in the planning process. These should instead be strengthened and extended to enable more democratic involvement and accountability.

Alan G

The proposed change to planning processes is another attack on our democracy

Vicky S

Communities and local voices should be heard before any developers

Emma F

SO NOW ONLY PROFITEERS ARE BEING HEARD …..these businesses that make money out of all these estates they build don't ever live in them so why are they the only people to have a say in the planning of them Ok build more housing but only after consultation and agreement…

The proposed changes to Planning Law are fundamentally undemocratic and an erosion of individual rights and freedoms. We must retain our rights to influence the communities and environment in which we live.

Tim T

So important that communities have a real say in decision making on development. Crucial if we are to deliver a socially just, low carbon place to live.
