Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 8054

Respondent: Mr Henry Vann

Representation Summary:

This Local Plan is being written in the context of a dramatic destruction of local democratic voice in the planning process proposed as part of the Conservative Government’s Planning White Paper proposals and as a central part of their programme of Government.
Claims that local government stops development are false. But it is true that the planning system, set out by the Government, benefits large developers at the expense of infrastructure, health, education and sustainable transport and, fundamentally, local residents.
