    John Gormley is proposing new regulation that may impact on sprawl both in villages and towns. This could also impact on political meddling on planning which can have negative reverberations.

    I say thanx be to all thats good. Our countryside has been plighted for too long by these out of village housing estates and lack of planning or interference appears to been the measure of our day. It should cause a storm. What do ye reckon?

    I found this line from the article particularly interesting:
    It is understood Mr Gormley intends to change the legislation so that councillors will no longer be able to ignore national planning standards.
