Here is the latest from Planning Daily:
Apparently:
Shadow housing minister Grant Shapps has accused the government of creating a nation of NIMBYs, failing on house-building and exacerbating the housing crisis.
What he is reported to have said:
"This government’s insistence on ignoring local people and removing their power and control means that, despite the housing shortage, Labour has left in its wake a deep suspicion of house-builders and developers. A new generation of NIMBYs has been created as a direct response to the government’s own misguided attempt to make something happen."
"So our Local Housing Trusts will give communities the power to grant themselves permission to build. The land will be locked in for village use forever, while the homes that are needed are built."
