I would have thought any sane person could see this is not appropriate for a democracy? Britain's villages are being decimated by the current system.

Democracy is thrown out of the window and the nonsense of unelected morons with supercilious attitudes and morals is the creeping pariah.

Our village is being ruined by over-development.

It is ridiculous after so many local people submit their objections to planning applications and the local council agrees that the development should not happen that someone completely removed and can over rule all of this as if the local people have no voice at all - if that is the system do away with any opportunity for local people to say anything and just be a dictator cos that's what it feels like - be more honest about the process and don't let us have a voice at all.

]]> Mon, 16 Feb 2015 01:59:18 UTC 18549999 Mr Tim Mobbs [Signature #40] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18546304?utm_medium=rss This petition is very pertinent to the current issue in our village where we have a very advanced local plan that is almost ready for referendum. Our plan supports the construction of 280 new homes in our village with a good balance of social and other housing that will contribute to the community and help develop the sports facilities currently on offer. As a community we can absorb this development but no more. This has been recognised by our local authority, the Borough Council of Wellingborough as they have turned down two further requests for development that will add an additional 115 houses. Both these cases have gone to appeal, have been presented to the inspectorate and have now been called in. Despite having a cohesive local plan which have attempted to put in place as quickly as possible, we are now at the mercy of a review taken without real local knowledge and which rides rough shod over the Localism Act. This makes me wonder why talented local people have worked hard to deliver a plan that supports our community's requirement to deliver sustainable housing growth. If either of the two appeals are upheld it will destroy the credibility of the democratic process.

The final say should be from the people we vote for.

The profit motive will always override common sense. Let local government and local communities decide where housing development is most appropriate within national targets for the creation of new homes with brown field sites and existing land banks to be built upon before green field locations are lost for ever.
