We’ve labelled the revised National Planning Policy Framework #NPPF a speculative developers’ charter - it will continue to favour the wrong developments in the wrong places. Here’s our initial reaction. https://t.co/eaLDvYDu8i

Green Belt boundaries are being changed at the fastest rate for 20 years, but only 16% of the houses permitted in the Green Belt since 2009 are affordable. Building on the Green Belt won't help us tackle the affordability crisis. New blog: https://t.co/UKCIiPichl #TuesdayThoughts

The government's new planning policy will undermine the delivery of the affordable rented homes our rural communities desperately need, and may prove disastrous for the continued vitality of our villages and market towns. (via @thetimes) https://t.co/uFre7UTmZN

This week is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. Our new research shows parks and green spaces generate over £34bn in benefits to physical and mental health and wellbeing a year. Visit your local park and you'll feel happier and healthier as a result.

@WRegeneration Its essential that Sunderland Council utilize all the Brown Field sites within the city if we're to avoid destroying the green belt and countryside!
