A bit late but a least she is trying to do something, all be it that the goverment is not going to give way.
A quote from that debate (see column 69WH). My emphasis in red
"It is also worth noting that one of the reasons why we are having this debate is the frustration that many of us have experienced—I myself was in local government for a decade or more—about the lack of power that people have had over what is happening around them compared with the power of somebody in a suit in Whitehall saying, “This is what will happen in your area.” It will take some time for people to realise that we have moved on from that situation and that we should attack this issue from the front end of the planning process instead of from the back end. The appeal system itself is at the back end."
We've moved on from that have we.? Really? I've a one word response.
