I dislike the erosion of democracy taking place. No only are you changing laws about conservation that people want, denying people the right to object to what is happening, giving power to override councils and ruining the environment, but you are also allowing “leaks” so that developers can buy land which should be held in trust.
Building a few rental buildings and a lot of mansions is only enriching the developers. It won’t help the housing crisis. Where is the limit on the lot size and on the square footage of the houses to be built?
Common sense dictates that it would be better to build within the city limits. The transportation and infrastructure would already be there. Knock down older buildings and build high rises. Few of the expected refugees are going to have money to buy homes. By definition they have left most of their possessions behind, which includes their money.
Please cancel this bill and rework it so that the people who come and the people who are already here can afford to rent or buy homes.
