Matt Morris is right. Pressure groups only cause planning delays.
For 40 years Brighton station goods yard lay unused, except for car parking. The West Pier and King Alfred sports complex in Hove could have been in service by now.
Modern planned speculative obsolescence ensures if mistakes are built, replacements can proceed nearly every decade. No, not 45 minutes - that's ridiculous. The history of long-lasting architecture, except atomic power stations, is over.
Planners seem to be overlooking drought, flooding, power supply, sewage, emergency and social services. Hospitals, schools and integrated public transport are not keeping pace with industrial and population needs in southern England.
