All of the submissions have been shared with members in the papers that they received in advance of the meeting, and for people following our proceedings, the submissions are all publicly available on the petition’s website. Common themes across the submissions include: the role of local planning authorities as decision makers; ensuring that communities have access to professional help in navigating the planning process; ensuring that communities have early notification of section 36 applications; capacity issues for local authorities in meeting future net zero targets; potential learning from elsewhere in the UK, for example, local authorities applying English planning law; the use of inquiries and how communities can best contribute to them; and mechanisms to enable any issues with a developer’s conduct to be formally raised.
