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.

RAFF (Residents Action on Fylde Fracking)November 13, 2020, 2:18 pm
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.

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.

I am signing as an individual but I am part of several local groups including our residents association currently seeking a Judicial Review of a planning decision on grounds which I can see include obstructing 1 and 2 of this charter. I am sure we will be looking at whether the RA should sign-up as well.

What is happening at the moment is ill thought out and certainly not up for the needs of people living in a community and that allows us to tackle climate change.
The system appears broken. I don’t understand what is driving it.

This removal of local democratic accountability is an entirely retograde move against the interests of communities.

I strongly oppose the removal of the local democratic element.
Rachel BergerOctober 25, 2020, 9:35 am
Having read the White Paper I feel really angry at the removal of powers and participation from the local level. I’m glad to sign this charter

Planning rules are so important to a community, to control the environment we want to live in. This should be a community decision, not developers and Whitehall.
