To help you, we've launched a website 

How you can have an impact:
First and foremost we need as many signatures on the petition before the consultation closes on October 12*. We can't do this without your help, so if you haven't so done already, get signed up now.
If you’ve already added your name, please encourage your friends and family to do the same.
Please write to your MP to tell them why this issue matters to you. The website will enable you to find your MP and email them directly.
Or perhaps you want to print out a poster to stick up, share or wave to tell the Government how you feel?
All of theses actions will help make the Government listen to the growing voice of people who want them to stop and think again.

Three reasons why you should you care:
  • Whoever you are, and whatever you do, the proposed changes to the planning system in England will affect you and the places you live and work.
  • For decades, England's planning system has protected much loved places from harmful development - and steered development to the places where it's needed. Government reforms turn this on its head, using the planning system as a tool to promote economic growth ahead of everything else.
  • England needs a planning system that combines long-term growth with other important things like local character and space to breathe, tranquillity and beauty. We need a system that serves all our interests, from commerce to communities.
If you care about preserving the places important to you, make your voice heard.

Thanks for being involved,
Andrew, James, Ingrid, Ben, Tamasine, Kate, Rob, Holly, Cass, Sarah, Marcus and Claire.
The Planning for People team

P.S. One last thing – Don’t forget to tell you friends about the website – tell them how they can get involved on Facebook and Twitter, and if you want to join the discussions, make sure you use the hash tag '#planning4ppl'.
* The official consultation ends on October 17 and we will continue to gather signatures on the petition until this time. However we will be heading to Parliament on October 12 to ensure the PM has time to hear to your thoughts, so if you want to be heard, don't hang around!
