A tall order
The entire planning bills
are rotten. The only thing
that should be saved is
the suspension of works
[until the appeals process is
exhausted]. Everything else
is frivolous.
Admittedly, it's a tall order and
there is little time to spare. Is
it impossible to achieve? No.
But it will require focussed
leadership, clarity, honesty
and a team that inspires trust
