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.

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.

What ever happened to localism? People should have the right to participate in, comment on, and contribute to what happens to their neighbourhood, as in Neighbourhood Plans. Give planning decisions back to councils and allow democractic participation in the planning process.

The Planning rules must be strengthened so that housing developments are adequately served by Public Transport.
If this requires the provision of new railway stations, or bus routes, then these must be in position before the development starts – the people do not have to automatically own a car to get out and about.
Developers should pay for such initial provision.
As regards large industrial developments or warehouses these should situated adjacent to railways so that Private Sidings can be provided either initially or at sometime in the future.

Your proposal exhibits the sort of sanity that the government proposals sadly lack

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.

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 built considering their entire impact on the current climate crisis and use brown field sites, green energy, water conservation and focus less on how much money it can return for its investors.
Too may people are getting rich at a cost to the environment and the lack of affordable housing.
Why aren’t the police and councils using electric vehicles, why are local tips not following the Swedish principle of burning rubbish to generate energy in recycling chimneys all this is within Governmental control, just to name a few places that a government serious about change and not profit could make a difference.
