I'm not sure we should push for any weakening of planning controls. Be careful this isn't the start of a slippery slope. There are other things just waiting for relaxation, such as: folks living in "garden rooms", felling protected trees, development on flood prone areas, and even on green belt.

@G8GDS I agree Peter; It would certainly open the floodgates to much undesirable development- checks and balances are there for a reason. This came past me as secretary of my local society & was I asked to pass on to the rest of the membership, and mentioned it here also.
