Local Decision-Making for Local Planning, Local Involvement on National Projects

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Promote and support local democracy by local council decision-making on all local planning development. On nationwide planning developments local council planning departments must be involved and not excluded or ignored. Final decision on Nationwide projects must be at Central Government level.

2200 housing units are proposed to be built in Bromley and Hayes on green built land in the centre of the borough. Central government are intending to remove the local council planning department from the decision making process by use of existing and proposed new laws. Local democracy requires our councillors to be accountable to the electorate for both the built environment and our natural environment. The Bromley and Hayes green belt project will set a precedent for all London Boroughs.
