[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 7211789, member: 42914"] Have you read the white paper? It proposes dividing the country in "development", "renewal" and "protected" zones. Two guesses which zone most rural areas would fall into. In "development" zones there would be a presumption of "outline permission" with only the details left to the local authority. That's fine so long as the zoning is very competently done (something many councils would fail especially as they also propose a strict 30 month time limit on creating new local plans). IMHO it all hinges on improving the definition and operation of the planning "sustainability" test. The current panning interpretation falls way short of the dictionary definition of the word. Under the planning definition most rural areas, even in and around villages, fail. They are too far from shops and schools, have poor public transport and have too little employment within walking distance. Strict interpretation of this will kill the rural communities stone dead. IMHO the rules need to be different in rural areas where, instead, improving the sustainability should be the aim. Help to generate viable schools. Help make shops viable. Subsidise low carbon travel. Value rural employment more. [/QUOTE]
