The government has today published its long-dreaded paper on future #planning reforms. I& #39;m afraid I& #39;m going to have to say something about it here because it really is bloody awful.

My good friend @Garden_Heritage has already pointed out that the title of the paper is "Planning for the future" and asked "is there any other kind?" https://twitter.com/Garden_Heritage/status/1291255802666332160?s=20">https://twitter.com/Garden_He...

In his introduction, #NotMyPM @BorisJohnson refers to our current troubling times in these terms "as we approach the second decade of the 21st century". BJ, my dear chum, we& #39;ve just finished the second decade of the 21st century and we& #39;re already 8 months into the third...

(Pedants please note, I am using the 21st century definition of a century. Even if you use the (correct) 20th century definition, we& #39;re still approaching the thrid decade.)

Here& #39;s the consultation by the way. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/launch-of-planning-for-the-future-consultation-to-reform-the-planning-system">https://www.gov.uk/governmen...

Just tagging this thread with the government-approved #PlanningForTheFuture complete hashtag.
