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.

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.

This is sadly a common struggle around Europe, and we should all be worried about it, especially now.

I am concerned that the environment will be pushed to the background as priority is given to commercial and housing applications.
I am also concerned that social housing, affordable housing will not be prioritised.
•I would like local people to make decisions.
•I would like planning decisions that turned down development that encroached on Green Belt land.
• I would like local councils to be able to agree plans for improvement of housing stock in cities, towns, and villages on brownfield sites. These plans should be out and out providing housing that is affordable and necessary, not developments for those who already have means.
