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.

We desperately need planning to be more democratic, not less, so that local communities can be invested in ensuring development meets local needs and reflects the imperative for real sustainability

I have been involved in fighting inappropriate development in the past (and been on the winning side) but the latest planning proposals remove the rights of citizens to have a meaningful voice regarding the planning process. This imposition of arbitrary planning rules will be anti-democratic and will be disastrous for the environment, for sustainable and affordable housing in the right places and for communities. Think again government.

All the glossy brochures in the world do not compensate for proper democracy for local people. There appears to be some kind of rush to get the Planning White Paper through which is worrying in itself.
The right words are often used such as sustainability and climate change, protection of nature etc without the ‘HOW’.
The people elect Governments – please listen to them.

Poor planning has harmed communities, reduced valuable green space and created car-dependent suburbs. We can and must do better.
