    I posted this on Facebook and might as well post it here too. This whole talk about "seriously injurious to the setting, amenity and appreciation of neighbouring properties" comes off as though the site in question should also be treated as an extension of amenities to neighbouring residents.

    I would like to remind the residents of "neighbouring properties" that the only amenities they own are those WITHIN the confines of their walls. I had a look at the plans which weren't bad looking. They were quite smart looking actually. It will be very rich (no pun intended) to hear the head objector complaining about the housing crisis in future NewsTalk broadcasts.
    You should probably remind yourself about planning permission and what it entails while you're at it.

    I am not supporting the type of situation you refer to above just supporting the right of individuals to take part in the planning process.

    Proper sustainable development is what we need but taking away the rights of individuals will not deliver that.

    The current situation is not sustainable - people who are renting are losing more and more money every year; and ending up with less cash with each passing year. In fact, the boomier it gets the worse off workers are! This screams that something is at breaking point in the economy.

    Emergency measures to fix the solution - no objection to house-building planning applications or something along those lines is required to break an unsustainable situation.

    Ah, there is Ted.

    No there is not.
    Suggestions on this thread that would seek to "weaponise" the planning system are unhelpful and will do nothing to improve matters.
