FT.com / UK / Politics & policy - Tories aim to shake up planning system

FT.com / UK / Politics & policy - Tories aim to shake up planning system: "One property figure said: “Instead of producing a workable document what we have is a piece of political dogma the everyone knows won’t work.”
Housebuilders admitted the planning system needed improvement. But John Slaughter, policy director of the Home Builders’ Federation, said: “The radical transformation the Conservatives propose carries potentially high risks and could have significant unintended consequences.”
Caroline Spelman, shadow communities secretary, said the Tory plans would replace a defunct “top-down, target-driven” approach."
