How has Garden Grabbing affected you?
September 3, 2010
The Government recently announced changes to the planning system with the intention of reducing the infilling and development of existing back gardens, often referred to in the media as garden grabbing.
For residents and environmental groups the changes have been warmly welcomed and predictably, the House Builders' Federation has called the changes unnecessary. The Government sees itself responding to a clear and present danger that has seen nearly a quarter of new houses built on gardens over the past 10 years.
Whilst it is still early to see the full effect of these changes, one possible fall-out from all of this is added pressure to build on existing Greenfield sites and settlement boundaries. We look forward to hearing your views on the subject.
