More! Mr Mohindra praised the local planning process and commended the Government for listening to constructive criticism. He expressed concern about unscrupulous developers taking advantage of a five-year land supply deadline, which would put development in the wrong places. He highlighted that his constituency is 80% green belt with parks and open spaces as residents' favourite aspect. Mohindra advocated for strategic planning to ensure good outcomes for communities and called for more motivation to use brownfield sites effectively. Asked for reassurance that there is alternative provision available for constituents who are not digitally enabled to view plans and provide feedback, in the context of a drive towards digital viewing.

The planning system is failing to meet housing, amenity, and infrastructure needs. The opposition agrees that action is required on issues such as land banking, brownfield land development, compulsory purchase orders, and community participation. However, they fundamentally disagree with the current approach to national planning policy which prioritises political convenience over meeting objectively assessed housing need.

Mr Moore discussed the importance of community-led planning policies, focusing on housing development in his constituency. He highlighted concerns over inadequate infrastructure support for proposed developments, quality issues with new builds by developers like Harron Homes, and slow progress on industrial unit applications. He also raised issues regarding telecom masts and their placement within villages. He expressed frustration with Bradford Council's decision to remove public comments on planning applications from view, citing GDPR as the reason. He questioned whether other local authorities enable residents to see all comments on planning applications.
