Relaxing of planning laws - good or bad thing ?

Is this a green light for more development based on profit or a necessity in providing for ever increasing community sizes ?

Do you think the horse world will be squeezed even tighter with more acres being turned over to development meaning less hacking, yards may get lucrative offers and will cease trading for horses so the only options for horse owners are large commercial expensive livery yards.

Any thoughts.

Good thing. 90% of UK is undeveloped. New guidance of 52 pages replaces reams of repetitive documents ( I work in the planning system). Should make things better for equestrians and everyone. More power devolved to local level so you can lobby locally and be more effective. Strangulation of development by excessive regulation has had a direct impact on lack of access to housing market for today's young people.... I could go on, but you catch my drift
