Extract:
Planning should be a creative discipline, fundamental to creating the places that we want to live in. The very best planning is about having a vision (think of Edinburgh’s New Town) and delivering it. Of course it has to pay attention to detail. But we have lost creativity in favour of rules, of lines on maps that can’t be moved, of the dreaded development control committee. These are all processes that stifle creativity and have at their heart the belief that development is almost certainly a bad thing.
