Green belt land needs more protection under planning reform, say MPs | Mail Online

Reforms to the planning system are contradictory and confusing, MPs warned yesterday.

A Commons committee has written to the Prime Minister highlighting concerns about a shake-up labelled a development ‘free for all’.

A Government policy document says that local councils should approve all future building projects unless there is a strong reason to refuse them.

The most significant change is that local authorities would adopt a default position of answering ‘yes’ to all proposals for developments.
