| Summary: | The planning manifesto issued last week by the British Property Federation (BPF) is a self-serving document with an emphasis on speeding planning processes, often by privatizing them. As a trade body for landlords, investors and agents, the BPF is blithely dismissive of concerns about public probity and construes culture change in planning as the promotion of commercial development, for which authorities need to be "incentivised." Statutory consultees should certainly respond to a set timetable and planning performance agreements could be more widely used. |
