In planning, possibly more than in any other arena, the devil is in the detail - and there are some aspects of the draft proposals that give cause for concern.
Shelter will challenge some of the draft proposals to make sure that they deliver the right homes, at the right prices, in the right places - while protecting the environment. That is no small task - but it is the entire point of planning and it's vital that we get it right. But we must not allow the national challenge of how to meet the need for secure affordable homes for everyone to be clouded by the self-interest of the housing advantaged pulling up the ladder after themselves.
