<p>The by-election for Chesham/Amersham in Buckinghamshire has raised lots of interest in the role of planning matters in this unexpected result. Buckinghamshire residents' action groups have now come together to articulate their planning concerns in an open letter, attached. One of these action groups has released two documentaries outlining the planning issues they have experienced, including such things as apparently arbitrary changes to HELAA, sidelining NPPF sustainability considerations, the role of planning officers, transport consultants, biodiversity scrutiny and the relationship between officers and developers. How widespread are such issues, and how are other councils responding to them? Has the Chesham/Amersham result had an impact on how Councils are engaging with such issues - and with communities - with regard to planning?</p> <p>http://maidsmoretonmatters.org</p>
