The government is currently looking to vote through incredibly significant changes to the planning system that will change the face of Britain.

These changes will mean:

• More housing for Colchester under the new methodology - 1612 a year!
• Automatic planning permission for developers with no local input
• Poorer quality housing and denser developments
  Fewer affordable homes and social housing
• More Permitted Development, which allows offices to be converted into flats/houses without planning permission or even central heating!
• Less money for infrastructure
• More power for developers as residents are overlooked

We want a planning system that it not only transparent and democratic, but gives more powers to communities, not wealthy developers. 

We are asking our three MPs for the Borough of Colchester; Will Quince, Priti Patel and Bernard Jenkin; to speak out and vote against these dangerous proposals.
