Councillor Anita Campbell - Changes in Planning pdf icon PDF 93 KB

Minutes:

The Committee heard representations from Councillor Anita Campbell on the government’s proposals and suggestions to changes in the planning process. planning which are as follows:

·              Plans to strip individual local councils of responsibility for planning if they are deemed to be too slow to approve developments - a move that Conservative Chair of the Local Government Association described as "a blow to local democracy."

·              Suggestions from the Chancellor, George Osborne, that the rules on building on the greenbelt should be relaxed (denied by Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Eric Pickles at Conservative Party Conference).

·              Proposals to allow larger home and business extensions (almost double the size) without planning permission.


The Planning and Environment Committee believe these suggestions and proposals are an attack on local democracy and Localism, they will result in an attack on green and open spaces, and the greenbelt, they will set resident against resident (in the case of larger extensions), and they should be opposed at all costs.

Some local authorities have already stated their opposition to these proposals, including Richmond, who are seeking ways to defy any new legislation on allowing larger extensions without planning permission.

 

The Committee opposes the government's current proposals on larger extensions without planning permission, including plans in the government's consultation.

 

The Committee requested that the Leader write to the  Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government relaying their views and concerns.

 

RESOLVED – That the Leader of the Council  write to the  Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government relaying the Committee’s views and concerns.
