We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to revise the planning regulations so that County Councils are required to improve their current consultation processes with the community and that they submit planning applications to an externally regulated body. More details
Submitted by Mr Jack Lee – Deadline to sign up by: 18 June 2010 – Signatures: 32
Currently County Councils make their own planning decisions regarding properties managed by themselves and their own contractors. This includes:
- Schools and other council-owned properties;
- Minerals and waste applications such as gravel extraction; - landfill sites; and
- energy from waste plants.
We believe there is a lack of democratic consultation with the community, leading to potentialy biased decisions.
We call on the office of the Prime Minister to review this planning process, so that the communities affected by such planning decisions feel fully involved in the process.
