Save Greater Manchesters GreenbeltOctober 27, 2020, 7:01 pm
We are a regional umbrella group campaigning to save green belt and green space across Greater Manchester. The White Paper Planning for the Future (PftF) moves away from planning based on evidence and is not fit for purpose, it puts the interests of landowners and developers before the community and is an end to community participation and the promise of a democratic planning system.

Thank you for developing this People’s Charter. It is much needed.
It is time our collective voices are heard. If a Climate Emergency has been declared by a public body, it should not be able to be ignored. All planning applications should have consideration of the CE at the heart of the proposals.
Citizens should be a key stakeholder in every planning application – not an afterthought. Citizens’ Advocates should be appointed to ensure the focus is on what citizens need – not on developer profits!
In addition, communities should have the same right of access to public funds to raise challenges as Local Authorities do! As things stand, we have to raise money through donations, this is not the case for Local Authorities or Developers.

The planning system in England is predicated upon democratic accountability—accountability that be maintained, and indeed strengthened, in any changes to the planning process.

It will erode what little rights we have under the current planning process.

Our planning system is under threat. Planning matters because it gives us rights and powers over what happens in our communities. Given the public health and climate change crises, now is the time to make sure we have a system that works for the public interest.

It is so important that we preserve local democratic control over planning decisions and ensure that environmental issues have key priority

Our borough Ealing, is getting destroyed by development. No consideration given to the current existing community.

This proposal is a serious infringement of the rights of citizens to oppose plans they disapprove of. This is like taking away their right to vote and is thus a disenfranchisement.

Thirty years campaigning in King’s Cross on planning issues (1983 to 2014) taught me the importance of local input. Islington Council (where I lived) was very good by and large at involving and respecting local people’s input, Camden Council less so. With Islington’s support we were able first to defeat the plan to bring the Channel Tunnel Rail Link to a low level station in King’s Cross (involving demolition of much of the KX area for no good reason) and then to get significant improvements to the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (aka High Speed 1) design and construction (we didn’t oppose the rail link, just wanted it built better, and it is). Less successful getting any changes to the King’s Cross Central development, but that was mainly in Camden. Without the right to object, we will be reduced to the level of lowly peasants–but the peasants are the people who live in a place and know what would be best.

WE need to retain and enhance democratic involvement and control over development for the good of the community as a whole.

We need really-secure and really-affordable rented housing, and therefore need to be able to participate and to object where necessary within the planning system to resist developer priorities. Say NO to No say on planning.

This land is our land. We must all be involved in its development and use.
