Planning permission for gardens?
While waiting for my wife to shop I browsed the headlines of various
daily papers this morning. One of them,I never noticed which, claimed the dear old government are planning to bring in rules about what we can do with our gardens. It seems that this is an attempt to reduce waste production, mainly grass clippings! What a racket this recycling business is becoming. We spent energy to clean bottles, glasses etc for recycling then is is all dumped together and shipped to India it seems, where it is mainly dumped in landfill! |

Well I never believe anything I read in a paper, but this certainly fits in with the government's aim to classify gardens as 'brownfield sites' for building blocks of flats. Perhaps they think that if we can't cultivate our gardens as we wish, we might be more inclined to sell them off for building. I am really getting to HATE this government and all it stands for. |

So, take up lawns and replace them with................block paving? ......................yeah, lets encourage some more flooding. Talking of flooding, I'd agree with banning junk mail. Less to recycle, more trees left standing........hopefully. -- Pete C London UK |

The only example of this, as far as I remember, is the proposed planning permission which could be required to _pave over_ gardens. The amount of flooding which has occurred over the last few years is probably not helped by covering the land with concrete! -- Gordon H Remove "invalid" to reply |

The article consists mainly of an opportunist Tory rant about a discussion document, and rambles on about paper recycling among other things. :-) -- Gordon H Remove "invalid" to reply |

Beware of newspaper headlines - especially some of your most imaginative British red-tops! If you're interested in the topic, I'd suggest researching it seriously as to what draft legislation may be in the pipeline in this regard - if any. Cat(h) |

Regrettably, Mordochisation now means that includes most of the old broadsheets - and the Torygraph has been the most unreliable heap of rubbish on such matters for decades. Frankly, the only widely available papers where the news isn't more propaganda than fact are the Scotsman, the Independent and the Guardian - and they get increasingly woolly-minded in that order, so you have to allow for them being just plain addled. You should, of course, ignore the carefully balanced collection of unbalanced loons that the Independent allows free rein to in the Opinions and Comment section. But at least those three TRY to separate fact from polemic - the others actually try to dress up polemic as fact - not that they need to be that subtle for their readership :-( Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Planning permission for gardens will be promoted by supermarkets scared of you growing your own food. You will be stealing their profits! Just wait until I have to trim my neighbours overhanging bush again. |

The only example of this, as far as I remember, is the proposed planning permission which could be required to _pave over_ gardens. The amount of flooding which has occurred over the last few years is probably not helped by covering the land with concrete! DEFRA will shortly introduce legislation to dispense with the requirement to obtain planning permission for paving -- as long as the paving material used is permeable. In view of the increased incidence of flooding, it seems sensible to move away from hard landscaping which could increase the flooding danger to our homes. And when we suffer from drought instead, impermeable surfaces conduct rainwater to drains from where it flows uselessly out to sea. Better to allow it to be absorbed by the land, where some of it will reach the aquifers. It could also reduce the risk of subsidence - which became very common on clay soils during recent droughts. |
