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.

It seems to me that this is a massive power grab by central government to control us by removing local democratic processes that are now in place. What then about the Local Plans that in some cases have taken years to carefully develop? There are serious concerns here about the lack of importance attached to the local ecology and attempts to protect local wildlife. The one solution to fit all denies people participation in decisions that will affect them now and in the future. In the headlong rush to build houses this government is forgetting that they need to be appropriate, sustainable, affordable and decent to live in for the community they are build for.

Clearly covering a lot of countryside in bricks and mortar is something that is being caused by the ever increasing population. However very little thought is going into this process and nature is on the run and being eradicated. Most planning application of any size does allow a 3min slot for a resident in the area effected to have his or her say. Then it is totally ignored so democracy has no say when Government ,Planners and Developers get their heads together. The situation is dire and very depressing.

Communities and local voices should be heard before any developers

People must be allowed to have a say at what is built in their areas. The number of people on housing waiting list grows longer by the day and there is an immediate need for more social housing to be built not less. Shared ownership is not an option for a vast number of the population and never will be . Building has to be appropriate for the area it is being built in and the infrastructure there to support it. Not building for the sake of building and having roads gridlocked, hospitals and doctors surgeries unable to cope with the demand. Not to mention the ecological impact. We need now more than ever to look after the biodiversity we have and encourage it rather than destroying it. For the sake of future generations.
