Osborne's move to build on the green belt 'could backfire': Reforms hit wrong target says planning expert | Mail Online
George Osborne’s push to reform planning laws and allow building on green belt land has come under attack from the country’s most senior planning officer.
Malcolm Sharp, president of the Planning Officers’ Society, said the proposals would fail because developers' lack of finance and the weak state of the economy were the obstacles to building and not red tape.
'I don’t think that it is the planning system that is the issue. It’s the wider economy,' he said.
