BNG Responses to Government White Papers on Planning Changes

31/10/2020

0 Comments

 
The Government recently published two White Papers on Planning that may affect all our lives in the future.  You can view the White Papers by clicking the links below :

  • White Paper - Changes to the Current Planning System
  • White Paper - Planning for the Future

The first White Paper Changes to the Current Planning System got much coverage (and ridicule) in the National Press & Media due to its promotion of an algorithm to calculate housing need in areas.  This one size-fits-all approach, if applied as proposed, would see the already challenging housing need assessment in the Chilterns further increase by 232%, yet 88% of this District is designated as Green Belt with 72% also designated as AONB.

You would have thought after the fiasco of the exam results algorithm this Summer, someone in Government might have dressed this up as anything but an Algorithm!   

Brown Not Green continue to campaign for a common-sense bottom-up approach to Planning and have pushed back against this Planning Algorithm in the Consultation responses to these White Papers.  With thanks to Phillip Plato who has worked tirelessly (and continues to do so with super-human effort) during our protracted campaign for putting in these responses.  You can read them here:

  • Planning for the Future – BNG Consultation response

Thanks again to all members of the BNG Campaign Group and their supporters for their continued hard work.
