Questions following the The Environment We Want video (transmitted on 6th August)
I missed 'The Environment We Want' Live discussion, so have just watched it now. (1) Can Cornwall Council advise who we should contact in government to request changes to the proposed planning legislation? Alternatively who should we contact in CC, or our local councils, to come together to tackle the proposed changes in planning, and make sure local communities still have some say about proposed building in our towns and villages, so developers can't impose inappropriate developments on us? (2) Edwina mentioned various funding, and I wanted to check what if anything can local groups apply for? She mentioned £500,000 community infrastructure levy aligned to Climate Change projects. Can someone expand on this please. Also she talked about working with crowd funder to make £200,000 available through 3 funds. I didn't get the precise detail, but I think there was a low energy Carbon project. Town & Parish councils and Community Groups Action Planning, Forest for Cornwall and a Carbon Neutral Hive event. Can someone from Cornwall Council explain exactly what funds are available for people to apply for. (3) Lastly where is the new Cornwall Wildlife Trust fenced beaver release near Bodmin, so we can arrange to visit it? Thanks.

After starting to completely reform the town and country planning regime, the government is already getting strong concerns and objections being raised. Has it considered that the existing system has evolved since the second world war and is broadly fulfilling its intended purpose? It has been amended as the years have gone by but up till now, England is, as we all know, a much loved destination and country to live in so we must have been doing something right with our planning.
The other thing is that the delays in getting new housing started have little if anything much to do with the planning system. The delays in getting housing construction under way are largely because of the 'drip-feed' tactics of developers trying to keep the house prices suitably high enough forsaking in big profits. They hoard development land, obtain planning consent but hold off starting too many projects at once for financial reasons.
If we completely change our planning methods, our whole environment will start to change and the controls we have become used to and which currently benefit society and its local environments will be lost for no good reason.
Instead of blaming the planning system we should be dealing with the economics failures which are allowing excessively high house prices to be maintained. If prices were able to be brought more to within the affordability levels of aspiring house buyers, especially those wishing to buy for the first time, the whole market would receive a considerable boost across all areas.
I have a fully laid out plan for bringing house prices into line with affordability and I predict that if it were implemented, the housing markets would pick up and mobility amongst the workforce would be massively improved.
I would be happy to outline the plan to anyone interested.
