The Golden Lane Estate Residents’ Association (RA) is one of the sponsors of a major petition that has just been launched to seek reform of the planning process in the City of London.
… undemocratic planning process…
… speak with one voice…
Paul Lincoln writes on the Golden Lane Estate website:
All Golden Lane residents know the harm that is being done to our Estate by the… products of the City’s undemocratic planning process.
This petition is a chance for you – together with other City residents and workers, and anyone interested in our heritage – to speak with one voice against that process, particularly as a proposal was recently made by the City Corporation’s leadership to reduce democratic accountability in planning even further.
The text of the petition is set out below.
Petition to the Court of Common Council, City of London Corporation
… We, the undersigned:
declare that we have no confidence in the City of London Corporation’s current planning process and petition the Court of Common Council to: 1. reject a proposal that planning applications be decided by panels of the Planning and Transportation Committee…
2. … avoid conflicts of interest; and…
3. … avoid a perception of bias.
