Planning

Places to live that are good for people and nature.

We believe that a community voice in planning in the local area is essential.

We  campaign for well-designed, vibrant places that people want to live in – with the homes people need, great public transport links and easy access to work, leisure and nature.

That means prioritising brownfield over greenfield sites, recognising that the countryside is not ‘just fields’. It’s essential for producing the food we eat and supporting the biodiversity that sustains us.
