How much do people care about the planning system? Meanwhile, frustration among a younger generation locked out of these unearned riches has continued to rise. One survey last year found that 70% of 18- to 34-year-olds believe they will never own their own homes. While the promised “fast track for beauty” might sound attractive – for who, given the choice, does not prefer high-quality design? If the government and its MPs truly believe that a complete overhaul of a planning system created in 1947 is in the best interests of the country, and a priority in the current crisis, they must make the case for it.
