Petition Scrap the Governments proposals for Planning Reforms with "a presumption in favour of sustainable growth"

This entire proposal needs to be completely scrapped.

The government’s proposals are little more than a charter to turn the whole of the UK into a vast concrete island of endless Urban sprawl and Inner City Slums and will fail for exactly the same reasons that building new roads always fail to relieve traffic congestion – such roads only create far more traffic and simply increase traffic congestion. Similarly, creating more “affordable” (cheap and nasty) housing is more stupid, self-defeating short-termism from politicians who lack the genuine political will to deal with the over-population crisis at its very roots so cynically seek to merely manage the symptoms instead by giving a “presumption” in favour of unnecessary development.
