Remove Paragraph 11(d) and Footnote 8 from the National Planning Policy Framework to help stop developments proceeding where they may be contrary to local plans. This would help restore a genuinely community-led planning system and strengthen protection for green spaces. These rules can make it harder for communities to protect green spaces, which are vital for food production, wellbeing and climate resilience. We think removing them will not harm housing delivery: there are a million empty homes, major brownfield capacity, and developers already hold many unbuilt permissions. The issue in our view is affordability, not land supply.

I want the government to stop production of fossil fuels, & introduce a detailed plan on how to stop climate change, instead of just setting goals & delaying them. More money & action must be put in environmental and conservational areas, and funding for fossil fuel production and deforestation cut Many studies have shown that we aren't doing enough to help our planet. I think we are all too consumed with wars and finances that we haven't paid attention to our environmental goals for 2030, or the years beyond. We can't just 'deal with it later', we must act now, and the Government is a huge factor on whether we save our planet or not. Time is money. And we are running out of time. Please do not say that you are already doing your part, many countries clearly aren't doing enough. Act now. Act more.
