PDs promise to ease restrictions on one-off rural houses
29/09/2006 - 13:45:15The Progressive Democrats are proposing reform the planning system to make it easier for people to build one-off houses in rural areas.
The party said today that people should have the right to build homes in the area where they live and work without unnecessary restrictions.
It says the planning systems adopted by some local authorities need to be changed and is proposing the creation of special boards to force planners to explain why certain applications are refused.
