Government planning news

News from Fight The Height

Fancy becoming a planning geek?! August 27, 2008
Over years of campaigning, we've discovered that not only is it too late to fight developments when the bulldozers arrive, it's also sometimes too late when they apply for planning permission. Why? Because months, often years, earlier the council has agreed a planning policy which sets in stone what will happen. For example, a policy might mark out a particular area for development, dictate what
Comment on the Giant Telly August 21, 2008
Democracy seemed absent in the decision to erect a giant telly in Walthamstow Town Square. But at least the BBC website is giving the public the chance to comment on the screen.

Thanks! June 7, 2008
To everyone who came today - great turnout, bout a 100 i reckon, great to see residents and the library workers standing side by side and standing up for libraries, including those who came in to talk to central library users (who were very supportive). The only really strange comment was from the library manager [...]
