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

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.
