Old editors don't fade away, they just get more relaxed about punctuation.

Sadly has hardly made the news in the UK so far. Hopefully will ramp up in coming days 🙏

@AboutEG Excellent and dignified response to Cllr Peacock. Perhaps a deluge of emails to him from EG residents, cc your MP?

I sent the lovely postcard the Bookshop sells to a friend whose father was a Guinea Pig. She was touched and delighted to see how the town still remembered.

These #Hertfordshire sites should NOT be renamed the ‘grey belt’ !

@sequinnedsheep @lindsay79b @agathachristie Let’s have fun working it out 👵🏻🧶

@CymruFod @Neil04357329 @RosieP4 @RegenerationEX NIMBYs don’t have that power (rightly). That lies in planning policy eg GB policy for Elizabeth Line (cf Reading is building like there’s no tomorrow). An upside if community consultation is axed is this will be apparent when homes still aren’t built.

Finance and NOT supply is the root cause of high house prices … @RachelReevesMP & @AngelaRayner have the wrong diagnosis and wrong cure.

Soaring UK house prices are not due to lack of supply, Bank of England finds https://t.co/uwjEdROFuI

@AntBreach Ah that’s a relief, thanks for taking time to explain. (Keeping old/county names as you largely do - incl restoration of Berkshire 👏 - would help make changes more acceptable perhaps? Time for all that discussion later)

@stellastafford @SmartGrowthUK 👍👍

[Rebecca Murphy 🍃💚🍃🍩 @RebeccaJM55]

@SmartGrowthUK @stellastafford Doesn’t the glossary say brownfield = PDL?
Yes re hardstanding, though surrounding buildings impact visual and spatial openness.

[Rebecca Murphy 🍃💚🍃🍩 @RebeccaJM55]

@SmartGrowthUK @stellastafford Openness = absence of permanent development, emphasis on permanent. Hardstanding has no spatial impact so development of eg disused car park would be problematic at present. PPG has this to say: https://t.co/yuFBWEfLq2

[Rebecca Murphy 🍃💚🍃🍩 @RebeccaJM55]

@stellastafford @SmartGrowthUK In spatial openness terms, you can’t currently increase built volume (in effect, not by more than a small %) - the car park example would hit problems though obviously overcome. Visual openness is more a planning judgement.

@JenWilliams_FT If large variance in baseline numbers, % change alone not necessarily ideal indicator.

@RosieP4 @OurWestgate Meanwhile other new Ministers earnestly engaging with expert bodies to deal with climate change, nature, food, etc. Is Planning ignoring that?

[Rebecca Murphy 🍃💚🍃🍩 @RebeccaJM55]

@AntBreach (((Only 6/11 mentions of ‘beauty’ are deleted, but let’s not quibble)))

[Rebecca Murphy 🍃💚🍃🍩 @RebeccaJM55]

@AntBreach V interesting, thanks. But don’t think you mention the affordable component, do revisions ensure it will be delivered?

[Rebecca Murphy 🍃💚🍃🍩 @RebeccaJM55]

@CPRE Ambitious affordable component: Labour government and advisors aren’t dim but I (might be & maybe thus) struggle to understand how revisions ensure it. Can you push on this? Policy that = investor homes is not what Labour should be about. CPRE is not, so over to you!

[Rebecca Murphy 🍃💚🍃🍩 @RebeccaJM55]

@stellastafford @SmartGrowthUK Leaving aside importance or not of new text/paragraphs + greybelt definition, etc., at present, GB PDL redevelopment is restricted, see Dec 2023 NPPF, 153g. (Image is today's consultation draft with existing text amended, if that makes sense!).

[Rebecca Murphy 🍃💚🍃🍩 @RebeccaJM55]

@stellastafford @SmartGrowthUK Absence of definition may be an oversight? In GB reviews, Limited Contribution (Contribution, Significant Contribition) = category for importance of parcel/subparcel to each of the 5 purposes and to GB purposes overall, & the latter is not a simple average of the former.
