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 Planning system MUST listen to the local community whom have a real vested interest in the areas where they live.
It’s called Community and that is the strength that binds people together.
Covid has shown how important our Green Spaces and Greenbelt are to communities.
Handing over power to corrupt Council Officials MPs and developers is a joke.

I strongly believe that, if implemented, the proposals in the Government’s Planning White Paper, 2020 will lead to:
– Even more poor quality housing – especially for low income people.
– Little assurance of the provision of affordable housing.
– Even less democracy in the planning system than there is already.
– An accelerating erosion of green spaces, green belts and open countryside.
Property developers already have far too much power over the fate of open space in this country as it is. Under the existing system, local communities already face an uphill struggle when objecting to inappropriate developments. To propose to hand developers even more power is an outrage!
