Sir, – Planning rules are devised for safety and structural integrity and for ensuring a minimum quality of life for inhabitants. I am appalled at the suggested relaxation of rules for attics, extensions, garden cabins and division of houses.
The description “race to the bottom” is the first that comes to mind, as, of course, renters will be the primary victims of these proposed changes.
Unscrupulous landlords all over the country must be licking their chops. Are we about to lose all sense of decency, justice and empathy for renters with this half-baked attempt to solve the housing crisis? – Yours, etc,
