The government has announced stunning changes to the planning system in the Planning Green Paper, the proposals include allowing High Tech Industrial Units to be built with NO planning permission, a reduction in the rights of ordinary people to participate in the planning system in the name of speeding up decisions, and of course allowing parliament rather than public inquiries decide major infrastructure projects.

We are now gathering support, representations on the Green Paper need to be in by March 27th, so we are consulting all interested groups and individuals. We have also set up two mailing list one public, one private for activists. A temporary WEB site is being hosted on the CfPS site until something more substantive can be set up:
