Went on to the Broadland District Council website and typed the words "kick start" into the search box in the top right-hand corner. A list of documents containing the phrase comes up, and second or third on the list is a recent Report To Cabinet (Jan 2012) which I guess contains the alarming suggestions - certainly I found the Report alarming and its general attitude non-compliant with the usual aims of planning laws and the more novel but more important aims of international environmental laws.<br /><br />http://www.broadland.gov.uk/bdc_shared_content/bdc/committee_papers/120124_REP_OandS_New_Homes_Bonus.pdf <br /><br />Thanks to Mr Lindsay for his eternal vigilance - "the price of liberty is eternal vigilance", have forgotten who said this but it is certainly true.Anonymous West Norfolknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973149502277234867.post-71331736950497089482012-01-24T10:52:56.725+00:002012-01-24T10:52:56.725+00:00Superb letter and I look forward to seeing it publ...Superb letter and I look forward to seeing it published. The rule of law is the first ingredient of a workable neighbourhood, a workable county, and a workable nation. It is how our great nation started, in the 9th century under kings Athelstan and Alfred. The people loved the law and backed it up - it become their law, keeping them safe (provided the King upheld it himself, which didn't always happen!)<br /><br />These days, if you don't agree with a law you continue to obey it, but challenge it in court or in Parliament. You don't break it unilaterally, or you get an ASBO or something worse. Having said that, a lot of us do break laws protecting the environment, it is diffult not to because there is a total conflict between conservation and "progress". But at least most of us TRY not to break them. Some people in the political world don't seem to be even trying.Anonymous West Norfolknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973149502277234867.post-82052204456784749782012-01-20T00:32:56.532+00:002012-01-20T00:32:56.532+00:00Funny thing is that nowhere in our local media cou...Funny thing is that nowhere in our local media could we find the report of the debate about abandoning Planning rules as proposed by the Chief Executive of Broadland.<br /><br />...or did I just miss it, buried in the deepest depths of the journals.Onlookernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973149502277234867.post-88317827378705304442012-01-18T16:38:17.922+00:002012-01-18T16:38:17.922+00:00On the subject of comments by our Tory hierarchy, ...On the subject of comments by our Tory hierarchy, it is worth noting Grant Shapps' latest pearl of wisdom, that older people should sell their houses and downsize so that they can free that house for young people.<br /><br />Is dying not soon enough? Then there are all the costs of downsizing; sale as well as new purchase costs, add the costs of new furnishings and physically moving. All at a time when everyone is sure to sustain a considerable loss. Perhaps he would prefer it if we downsized into 'care' homes, we might be dispatched more quickly!<br /><br />It is quite preposterous and demonstrates the paucity of Government Housing Policy.Kimanishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336681138921441246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973149502277234867.post-4083787051295325502012-01-18T12:34:21.886+00:002012-01-18T12:34:21.886+00:00Can SNUB help me please.
