In Monday's 21st June Evening Standard, Senior Conservative MP for Harrow East, Bob Blackman says he fears the Government's controversial planning shake-up will deny local residents a vital say in developments going up in their area.

He states '' I and other MPs are picking up on the doorstep that people don't want suburban London destroyed by blocks of flats going up that overshadow normal two or three storey suburban houses''

Proposed planning reforms are believed to have been a key factor in last week's shock Tory by-election defeat in Chesham and Amersham.

Mr Blackman believes the proposals will be like the Wild West for developers and have to go!

In the same article it stated ' The Government is not listening to peoples concerns on planning matters'

THANK YOU Mr BLACKMAN - MAYBE THEY'LL LISTEN TO YOU BUT DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH!
